Document Summary

Definition: a joint is the point at which two bones articulate with each other: joints vary greatly in structure and function, the degree of movement at a joint is determined by the structure of the joint. Synovial joints are the majority in the body. Fibrous joints immoveable: sutures, found only in skull, during development, bones separated by short collagen fibers, with age, fibrous tissue ossifies replaces the collagen and bones become fused. In hydrocephalus, very young infants may develop a blockage in the ventricular drainage system of the brain, leading to excessive build up of cerebrospinal fluid. Because the skull sutures have not yet matured, this condition, if untreated can lead to severe deformities of the infants skull, and lasting brain damage. Treatment is putting a shunt in and draining the fluid out. Distal tibiofibular articulation with socket: connected by very strong and short ligament, fibers short allowing no movement, articulation of tooth socket, connecting ligament is periodontal ligament.
