Document Summary

Characteristics of: typical synovial joint, shoulder joints, hip joints, and knee joints. A point at which two bones articulate with each other. The degree of movement at a joint is determined by the structure of the joint. Classification of joints lowest to highest mobility: fibrous. Immovable (synarthroses: connected by fibrous tissue, examples: sutures (skulls), tibiofibular joint, socket of a tooth, cartilaginous. Slightly moveable (amphiarthroses: hyaline cartilage epiphyseal growth plate. Fibrocartilage pubic symphysis, intervertebral disc: synovial, high degree of mobility (diarthroses, mainly in appendicular skeleton, fibrous joints immovable/synarthroses. Bones separated by short collagen fibers, allowing no movement. Age: fibrous tissue ossifies & bones become fused. Clinical correlation - hydrocephalus: young infants may have blockage of ventricular system in brain excessive csf/pressure. Skull is not matured, so severe deformities of the skull can occur + lasting brain damage. Examples of fibrous joints: distal tibiofibular articulation:
