How many different types of joints are there in a human skeleton?
Fibrous joints connect bones to minimize movement. The bones of your skull and pelvis are held together by fibrous joints. Cartilaginous joints are joints in which the bones are attached by cartilage. These joints allow for only a little movment, such as in the spine or ribs. Synovial joints allow for much more movement than cartilaginous joints. Cavaties between bones in synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate and protect the bones. Bursa sacks contain the synovial fluid.
