Document Summary
Can be bone on bone, while most of the time cartilage covers the bones. Synovial joints make up most of the joints. Bone on bone w/ a minimal amount of fibrous connective tissue in between. Suture unions of the skull bones (only found within the skull) Syndesmosis more space between the bones (ex. Tibia and fibula) fibrous tissue that keeps the bones together. Gomphosis only exists between the tooth and jaw fibrous tissue secures the tooth in place. Syndchrondosis cartilage is between bones allows bone to grow during development. Symphysis joined by fibro cartilage all are found in the midline. Space in-between joints that is filled w/ synovial fluid. Amount of movement depends on the type of joint. Subracromial bursa sac-like pods that are filled with fluid (similar to a tide-pod) act as a cushion to help prevent friction. Hyaline cartilage that lines the end of the bone allows movement to be more comfortable.
