An immovable joint
Synarthrosis
A slightly movable joint
Amphiarthrosis
A freely movable joint; they come in a variety of shapes and permit several different types of movements
Diarthrosis
what are the 3 functional classifications of joints
Synarthrosis, Amphiarthrosis, and Diarthrosis
Joints that are formed by a solid mass of connective tissue between the neighboring bones include
fibrous joints and cartilaginous joints
These joints have connective tissue masses of dense irregular connective tissue
Fibrous joints
These joints use some type of cartilage as the connective tissue between the bones
cartilaginous joints
joints that incorporate a lubricated cavity called a synovial cavity are referred to as
synovial joints
which is the least stable joint in the body
the shoulder joint
why is the hip joint more stable than the less mobile elbow, knee, and ankle joints
because it has the strongest ligaments in the human body
these refer to the dense irregular or dense regular connective tissue structures that bind one bone to another bone
ligaments
What is an example of intrinsic binding
sutural ligaments of the skull or periodontal ligaments of the teeth
what is an example of extrinsic binding
ACL of the knee
Name examples of fibrous joints
Suture between skulls, anterior tibiofibular ligament, and interosseous membrane between tibia and fibula
syndesmosis between tibia and fibula at distal tibiofibular joint is an example of
fibrous joint
syndesmosis between tooth and socket of alveolar process is an example of
fibrous joint
a fibrous joint in which there is a greater distance between the articulating surfaces and more dense irregular connective tissue than in a suture
syndesmosis
this is a substantial sheet of dense irregular connective tissue that bind neighboring long bones and permits slight movement
interosseous membrane
In this joint, there is a solid connective tissue that allows little or no movement
cartilaginous joint
this is an immovable cartilaginous joint in which the connecting material is hyaline cartilage
synchondrosis
what characteristic of a synovial joint distinguishes it from other types of joints
the presence of a synovial cavity
what is an example of synchondrosis
the epiphyseal growth plate
The bone surfaces within the capsule of a synovial joint are covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage called
articular cartilage
this sleeve like capsule surrounds a synovial joint, encloses the synovial cavity and unites the articulating bones; has two layers: outer fibrous membrane and inner synovial membrane
articular (joint) capsule
