Document Summary

You can classify them functionally or structurally. These joints are restricted but do move a bit. An example ribs and sternum: diarthosis freely movable. They come in a variety of shapes and permit several types of movements. Tight, no joint cavity and no hyaline cartilage. Little to no movement because of the dense connective tissue. Synchondroses (with hyaline - ribs) and symphyses (intervebebral discs or disc in between two pelvic bones) Synovial they have it all and a wide variety. Synovial tissue resembles egg whites (hence ovial) Joint cavity, hyaline, and movement: most of the joints in the body. Slightly moveable in infants but immovable in adults: help absorb shock in skull. Anterior: a fibrous joint with more distance than in a suture. Features: between radius and ulna, between tibia and fibula. The growth plate (epiphyseal) in the femur. It does not bind the bones together but covers articulating bones.
