What are the different kind of joints in our body?

Answer 1

There are three different joint classifications in the human body. Synarthrotic, Amphiarthrotic, and Diarthrthrotic.They are related to, respectfully, fibrotic, cartilageneous, and synovial.

Fibrous joints are made when fiber like structures bind two bones together and so have next to no movement and are found in places such as the Sutures in the skull.

Cartilaginous joints are ones in which two bones are held in position to each other by cartilage but there is not fluid and so have a little movement and are found in places like between the vertebrae.

Synovial joints are ones in which a bag of synovial fluid sits between the bones hugely decreasing resistance and so allowing a huge movement range like in the shoulder joint. There are many types of synovial articulations which are named according to the shaped of the bones that are joined. The different types are:

Plane type (two flat bones joint like the joint between the sacrum and the ilium); Hinge type (a rod shape with a C shape around it like between the humerus and the ulna); Ball and socket type (a ball in a socket... like the glenohumeral or shoulder joint); Double saddle type (two saddles across each other like between the clavicle and the sternum); Pivot type (a rod project in through a hole like between axis and atlas); Condyloid joints (like a ball and socket but with a flattened out socket like between the carpals and the metacarpals.

Answer 2

The joints of the skull are known as sutures and have very little movement. Ball-and-socket joints are in the hip and shoulder. Elbows, knees, and fingers have hinge joints. Pivot joints are between the first two vertebrae where they enable the head to rotate from side to side. Gliding joints, in which the surfaces of the bones move a short distance over each other, are in the wrist and ankle.

Answer 3

There are three main types, synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic also known as synovial or freely moving joints. Of these there are six types (2 types of monoaxial, 2 types of biaxial, and 2 types of multiaxial). These include the ball and socket, saddle, hinge, pivot, glide, and ellipsoidal. All the joint types in the body fall into these categories.

Answer 4

There are six different types of joints in the human body; ball-and-socket, ellipsoid, hinge, gliding, pivot, and saddle.

Ellipsoid = condyloid
