Document Summary

Structurally: determines whether or not a joint cavity is present and the material binding the bones together! fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial. Joined by fibrous ct, no joiint cavity = very little/no movement at joint. Sutures (= synostoses, no movement: seams only found between bones of skull, overlapping or interlocking of 2 bones, junction filled with very short ct fibers. Syndemoses (very limited movement: cord (ligament) or sheet (interosseous membrane) of fibrous. Gomphoses (nail) peg in socket, only example is the tooth in bony socket. Bones united by cartilage (no joint cavity), immovable joints. Epiphyseal plates, between each of 1st 7 ribs and sternum. Symphysis: articular surfaces covered with hyaline cartilage linking plate of fibrocartilage, strength with flexibility (ex. There are 5 characteristics of synovial joints: articular cartilage, covers opposing bone surfaces, cushioning so bone not crushed. Essentially bags of lubricant = reduce friction.
