Articulation (mvt that occurs in a transition of bones) Joining the point of contact between two bones, or between bone and cartilage. Function: amount of movement that can occur at the joint. The closer the two bones, the stronger the joint. The stronger the joint, the less flexible it is going to be. Because the skull bones are so close, no movement can occur. Example= joint that exists between the two os coxae at the pubic symphysis. It is not actually free (kind of limited) Structural classifications: type of connective tissue that is there and whether or not there is a joint cavity between the two bones. No joint cavity fibrous connective tissue between the 2 bones.
