Document Summary
The joints joining of 2 bones divided into structural/functional joints. Fibrous joints: fibrous ct joint little/no movement: sutures: no movement - bones of skull, lines along two bones, syndesmoses: slight/no movement - cord/sheet (ligament/interosseous membrane, gomphoses: no movement - teeth in bony socket. Cartilagenous joints: bones joined with cartilage- no joint cavity: synchondroses: no movement, hyaline cartilage eg. area for growth epiphyseal plates, between ribs & Sternum connection: symphysis: slight movement within bones articulates with bones using hyaline cartilage. Gives strength + flexibility bones fused cartilage connection. Bursae: act as pillow/sac including synovial fluid for reducing friction and cushioning gives extra protection still giving lots of movements. Tendon sheaths: circular bursae that wraps around a tendon, gives stretched out continuous protection for relieving stress to the joint. Bunion: inflammation bursa by constant extra rubbing/irritation of joints. Synovial joints requires some stability as it has lots of freedom of movements.
