Document Summary

Articulations are places where two or more bones meet. These articulations can be classified by their structure and the motion that they allow. Defined by how much motion you get at the joints. The more constraint a joint is the more degrees of freedom you take away. Immovable joints or places where two bones fuse together. A example are the sutures between the plates of the skull. When you fracture your bone you don"t do it around sutures (very strong) These are cartilaginous" joints, connected via fibrocartilage that is flexible but allows only a small range of motion (rom). You can move a little but not much. Eg. intervertebral discs between the vertebrae of the spine. These are joints that allow the most forceful motions and the greatest ranges of motion. Reason its a tendon, because its a distal end of quad tendon. Pattela- sesamoid within a continuous tendon- shaped like a sesame seed.
