Functional classifications: three types based on movement joint allows

articulations:
Joints, also called
Gomphoses (fibrous)
Peg-in-socket joints Only examples are the teeth in alveolar sockets
Fibrous Cartilaginous Synovial
Structural: three types based on what material binds the joints and whether a cavity is present
Longer fibers
Syndesmoses joints: ____ _____ offer a larger amount of movement Example interosseous membrane connecting radius and ulna
Fibrous Joints
These type of joints have no joint cavity Most are arei immovable (depends on length of connective tissue fibers)
Sutures Syndesmoses Gomphoses
Three types of fibrous joints
Structural Functional
Two classifications
Syndesmoses (fibrous)
Type of fibrous joint where Bones connected by ligaments, bands of fibrous tissue
Short fibers
syndesmoses joints: _____ _____ offer little to movement Example: infenior tibiofibular joint
