Document Summary

Joint, also called articulation: or arthrosis, is a point of contact between two bones, between bone and cartilage, or between bone and teeth. Kinesiology: the study of motion of the human body. Functionally, joints are classified as one of the following types: Diarthrosis: a freely movable joint; these come in a variety of shaped and permit several different types of movements. Fibrous joints: have connective tissue masses of dense irregular connective tissue. Sutures: composed of a thin layer of dense irregular connective tissue called the sutural ligament. The irregular, interlocking edges of sutures give them added strength and decrease their chance of fracturing. Some sutures, althrough present during growth of the skull, are replaced by bone in the adult. Such a suture is called synostosis, or bony joint- a joint in which there is a complete fusion of two separate bones into one. If the suture persists beyond age 6, it is called a frontal or metopic suture.
