∙ 14y agojoints are classified structurally and functionally and biochemically there are three structural classification of joints
- fibrous joint eg skull
- cartilaginous joint eg spine or ribs
- synovial joint eg knee
- synarthrosis (permit little or no mobility eg skull)
- amphiarthrosis(slight mobility eg vertebrae)
- diathrosis(synovial joints eg shoulder)
- simple joint eg shoulder joint
- compound joint eg radiocarpal joint
- complex joint eg knee joint
- hing joint (allows flexion and extension like elbow and knee joint)
- pivot joint (rotation of one bone around another eg atlas and axis bones)
- ball and socket joint(abduct/internal and external rotation eg shoulder and hip)
- saddle joint(flexion/extension/adduction/abduction/circumduction eg CMC joint of the thumb)
- condyloid joint(flexion/extension/adduction/abduction/circumduction eg wrist joint
- gliding joint (gliding movements eg intercarpal joints)
