Document Summary
Bones are designed for support and mobility o o. Body movements cannot exceed the stresses that compact and spongy bone can handle. Joints (articulations) are junctions between two or more bones o. Bones may be in direct contact or separated by: o o. Each joint have a normal range of motion. Some joints interlock and prohibit movement completely, others permit slight or extensive movement. Classify joints based on histological structure of the joint (fibrous, cartilaginous, bony, or synovial) or range of motion. Bony edges are close together, may even interlock. Located where movement between bones must be prevented. Fibrous synarthrosis bone found in only joints of skull. Bones are interlocked together via the sutural ligament. Allows forces to be spread easily from one bone to another with little or no joint movement. Gomphosis (fibrous joint between teeth and jaw bones )
