Gomphosis (fibrous)

"Peg in socket" fibrous joint. Periodontal ligament holds tooth in socket.

Sutures (fibrous)

A fibrous joint with Rigid, interlocking joints of skull

Sutures (fibrous)

Allow for growth during youth Contain short connective tissue fibers that allow for expansion In middle age, sutures ossify and fuse Immovable joints join one unit that protects

Fibrous connective tissue

synostoses

Closed, immovable sutures referred to as ______

Synarthroses Amphiarthroses Diarthroses

Functional classifications: three types based on movement joint allows

periodontal ligament

In gomphoses joints Fibrous connection is the_____ ______ Holds tooth in socket

Syndesmosis (fibrous)

Suture (fibrous)

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
