Joints and Articulations
Classify and describe the general structure of a joint. Slide2
Classification of Joints
Fibrous –
joined by fibrous tissue; no joint cavity. Mostly immovable.
Cartilaginous-
joined by cartilage; no movement. No movement.
Synovial –
covered with
articular
cartilage, enclosed within an
articular
capsule and lined with membrane. Freely movable. Slide3
Types Fibrous Joints
Sutures,
syndesmoses
, and
gomphoses
. Slide4
Types of Cartilaginous Joints
Synchondroses
and
symphyses
. Slide5
Types of Synovial Joints

General Structure of Synovial Joint
Five Distinguishing Features
Articular
Cartilage-covers bone surfaces
Joint Cavity- space containing fluid
Articular
Capsule-2 layers connective tissue
Synovial Fluid-reduces friction
Reinforcing ligaments- strengthen joint
