Classified by type of cartilage: Fibrous joints-immovable such as sutures in the skull. Cartilaginous- partially movable such as vertebrae. Synovial- Freely movable such as knee and finger joints. Classified by functional use: synarthrosis - permits little or no mobility (mostly fibrous joints as in the skull). amphiarthrosis - permits slight mobility (mostly cartilaginous joints as with vertebrae) diarthrosis - freely movable (synovial joints used in body movement)

What joints a capsule with synovial fluid?
Synovial - the articulating bone ends are covered with articular cartilage, and enclosed within an articular capsule that is typically reinforced by ligaments externally. Internally the fibrous capsule is lined with a smooth synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid.
