Two methods for classifying joints are ____ & _____
- Structural classification: How joints are anatomically put together
- Functional classification: Hows joints work
What are the 3 sub classifications of structural joints? Describe their attributes
- Fibrous joint:
- no joint cavity
- fibrous tissue between bones - Cartilaginous joint:
- no joint cavity
- cartilage tissue between bones - Synovial joint:
- joint cavity filled with fluid
- surrounded by connective tissue
Nonsynovial joints are which 2 joint sub classifications?
fibrose & cartilagenous
What types of fluid is between synovial joints?
Synovial fluid
What are the 3 sub classifications of functional joints? What are their attributes?
- Synarthrosis = immovable joint
- Amphiarthrosis = slightly movable joint
- Diarthrosis =freely movable joint
Functionally a knee joint would be classified as _____, but structurally it’d be classified as _____.
Diarthrosis -functionally - freely moving
Synovial -structurally- joint cavity with fluid
Functionally the left & right parietal bones of the skull articulating with one another would be classified as ____., but structurally it’d be classified as ______.
Synarthrosis -functionally- immovable joint
Fibrous - structurally- no joint cavity
Nondiathrosis joints include which two sub joint classifications?
Synarthrosis & Amphiarthrosis
If a joint is structurally classified as fibrous & functionally classified as synarthrosis its called_____. Give an example of joint type.
Suture joint
ex: front & parietal lobe joints
If a joint is structurally classified as cartilaginous & functionally classified as synarthrosis its called_____. Give an example of joint type.
Synddesmosis
ex: between tibia & fiber
If a joint is structurally classified as cartilaginous & functionally classified as amphiarthrosis its called____. Give an example of joint type.
Symphysis
ex: pubic bones connecting OR joints between vertebral bodies
(T or F) When someone mentions synovial joints you know they’re also talking about diarthrosis joints

What are necessary characteristics of synovial/ diarthrosis joints?
*2 articulating bones (-duh!)
Joint cavity is between bones
