Document Summary

Funcion [how much freedom of movement is allowed at that joint?] No joint cavity present very litle to no movement at joint. Seams only found between bones of skull. Juncion illed with very short ct ibers. Bones connected by a cord (ligament) or sheet (interosseous membrane) of ibrous ct. Bones joined by ibrous ct; no joint cavity present. Peg-in-socket; only example = tooth in bony socket. Fibrous connecion is periodontal ligament (ii) carilaginous joints. Bar or plate of hyaline carilage unites the bones. Area of growth: e. g. epiphyseal plates between each of 1st rib & sternum. Strength with lexibility e. g. pubic symphysis, intervertebral joints (iii) synovial joints. Lubricates and nourishes aricular carilage; ills joint cavity & reduces fricion (produced from synovial membrane: reinforcing ligaments. Intracapsular: deep to capsule; covered by synovial membrane: rich nerve and blood vessel supply. Nerve ibers detect pain, monitor joint posiion and stretch.
