Sutures (Fibrous Joints) These can be found connecting the plates of the skull. As the plates fuse in the adult, the sutures are called synostoses and result in immovable joints.

Ligaments (Fibrous Joints) These can be found where bones are connected by ligaments. These

Ligaments (Fibrous Joints) These can be found where bones are connected by ligaments. These are called syndesmoses and result in amphiarthrotic joints (slightly moveable) joints or synarthrosis (not moveable). Examples would be the distal ends of the fibula and tibia.

Gomphotic Joints (Fibrous Joints) These are a peg and socket joint. The only example

Gomphotic Joints (Fibrous Joints) These are a peg and socket joint. The only example is the articulation of the tooth and its socket.

Cartilaginous Joints These are joints where the articulating bones are united by cartilage. There

Cartilaginous Joints These are joints where the articulating bones are united by cartilage. There is no joint cavity and mobility is limited. Most common examples are the first rib and manubrium and epiphyseal plates of the long bones. This is classified as a synchondronsis.

Synovial Joints The articulating bones are separated by a fluid containing cavity. These joints are diarthrotic (most motion) and provide the greatest movement. They have 6 distinguishing features.

Associated Structures Other structures commonly associated with synovial joints include fat pads and articular discs of fibrocartilage. They work like “ball bearings” and reduce friction where ligaments, tendons and muscles rub against each other.

Movement of Synovial Joints All skeletal muscles attach to bone or connective tissue by at least 2 points. – The Origin is the muscle attachment to the less movable bone – The Insertion is the muscle attachment to the movable bone.

a)Flexion is the bending along a sagittal plane; this decreases the angle of the joint and brings the bones closer together. b) Extension is the straightening of bones resulting in the increase angle between bones. c) Hyperextension is the bending of a joint beyond anatomical position.
