Document Summary

Functional classification = what the joints do (movable or not) and place them on a scale. Looking at the structural classification = what composes the joint, what"s holding it together and allowing it to function. Within joints, a little review of the bones, more practical. Hard to picture at first - because studying 2d. Functional classification: e(cid:454)a(cid:373)ple: skull sutures, (cid:455)ou do(cid:374)"t (cid:449)a(cid:374)t the (cid:272)ra(cid:374)ial (cid:271)o(cid:374)es (cid:373)o(cid:448)i(cid:374)g, has some movement, and requires some movement, example how the ribs articulate to the sternum, there"s little movement however it"s needed movement. Lungs: restricted to some degree, little restriction in terms of the bones, and the muscles and ligaments will only allow so much movement, example: flat on flat bone, or round on flat bone. Synarthroses and amphiarthoses in the axial skeleton, because there isn"t much movement in this group of bones. Diarthroses in the appendicular skeletal, the peripheral regions. -> should always look and see if there is a joint cavity first!
