Document Summary
Explain the classification of the joints from anatomical and functional points of view. Identify the different types of the solid joints. Explain the major characteristics of a typical synovial joint. Classify the different types of synovial joints. List major features of the main joints of the body. Synarthrosis: very little (if any) movements (e. g. skull) bones formed between the vertebral body) Amphiarthrosis: (semi-movable); not quite free to move but can perform some movements (e. g. - diarthrosis: freely movable (e. g. Amphiarthrosis: (semi-movable); not quite free to move but can perform some movements (e. g. - diarthrosis: freely movable (e. g. shoulder joint) Solid joints: no space between the bones - something joins the bones together in a way that there is no space between the bones. Fibrous joints: bones held together by connective tissues. Syndesmosis: bones held together by a membrane of dense connective tissue (e. g. between radius and ulna)
