Document Summary

Articulations (joints) are the place where 2 or more bones or cartilage make contact/connect. Suture: used to be cartilage connecting bones, now there isn"t, its bone-bone, only found between skull bones, gives added strength and decreases fracturing. Syndesmosis: a fibrous joint, slightly more movement, held together by flat, dense connective tissue, greater distance between the articulating surfaces. Gomphosis: no movement, between teeth and jaw, cartilaginous. Synchrondosis: cartilage connecting to bone, by either hyland or fibro cartilage, ex. epiphyseal growth plate. Symphysis: joined by fibro cartilage (fibrocartilaginous disc), but articulating ends are covered with hyaline cartilage, all symphysis joints found it midline & all joints in midline are symphysis, ex. All are freely moveable, but vary in degree of mobility. Most joints of the body (particularly in the limbs) 4 types of synovial joints : nonaxial (plane) Gliding actions (in no specific axis: monoaxial (hinge, pivot, biaxial (condyloid, saddle, multiaxial (ball and socket)
