Type of joint

Answer 1

Fibrous joints connect bones without allowing any movement. The bones of your skull and pelvis are held together by fibrous joints. The union of the spinous processes and vertebrae are 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.

* to enclose within fixed limits

Answer 2

There is the ball & socket (shoulder, hip); Hinge joint (knee, ulna); Pivot joint (radius, neck); Saddle joint (carpels, tarsels); Gliding joint (wrists); and Condyloid joints (between the metacarpels and phalanges)

Answer 3

Joints are classified according to their structurein:

1. Fibrous (skull, tibia and fibula, roots of the teeth)

2. Cartilaginous (epiphyseal plates in infants, pubic symphysis, vertebral column)

3. Synovial (knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow)

According to the degree of movement (functional) in:

1. immovable (synarthrosis): Skull, face (except jaw)

2. slightly movable (amphyarthrosis): Spinal column

3. free movable (diarthrosis): elbow, knee, shoulder.
