Document Summary
A joint is a site where 2 or more bones meet. & by function (how much freedom of movement is allowed at that joint?) Fibrous - fibrous ct linking bones together. Synovial - typical joint, have fluid associated (knee, shoulder) Bones joined by fibrous ct; no joint cavity so very little to no movement at joint. Seams only found between bones of skull. Overlapping or interlocking of 2 bones; junction filled with very short ct fibres. Cord (ligament) or sheet (interosseous membrane) of fibrous ct. Peg-in-socket; only example = tooth in bony socket (usually moveable unless is a baby tooth) Bones are united by cartilage (no joint cavity) Areas of growth: eg: epiphyseal plates, between each of 1st 7 ribs & sternum. Articular surfaces covered with hyaline cartilage - linking plate of fibrocartilage. Strength with flexibility: eg: pubic symphysis, intervertebral joints. Cushioning so bone not crushed: joint cavity: = synovial cavity; fluid-filled: articular capsule:
