Document Summary

Functional classification of joints: based on amount of motility, three functional classifications, synarthroses- immovable in terms of changing angles, ex: skull, amphiarthroses- slightly movable, ex: vertebrae, diarthroses- freely movable, ex: arm. Structural classification of joints: based on, binding material, presence of a joint cavity, three structural classifications, fibrous: sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses, sutures, rigid, interlocking joints containing short connective tissue fibers, allow for growth during youth, but no movement (synarthroses) Joints (articulations: synovial: most common joint in the body, all are diarthrotic, freely moveable, hyaline cartilage on top and bottom, articular capsule on the side, fluid in. Include all limb joints; most joints of the body the middle: general characteristics, articular cartilage- caps the ends of the bones. Joint cavity- space that contains synovial fluid: acts like a lubricant that reduces friction between bones, plasma, hyaluronic acid, articular capsule- double-layered, outer fibrous capsule.
