A joints function is to hold the bones together securely but also give the rigid skeleton mobility. There are three types of joints: Fibrous Joints, Cartilaginous Joints and Synovial Joints. For the fibrous joints, irregular edges of the bones interlock and are bound tightly together by connective tissue fibers, allowing essentially no movement to occur. Cartilaginous joints the bone ends are connected by cartilage so it's slightly movable. Synovial Joints are those in which the articulating bone ends are separated by a joint cavity containing synovial fluid. Therefore, synovial joints have much more freedom or flexibility than the other two joints types allowing a great range of movement.
