Document Summary

Functional classification to describe how a joint moves. Bones bound together by dense fibrous connective tissue no joint cavity immovable. Bones are connected by cartilage (hyaline or fibrocartilage) Most movable each joint contains a fluid filled joint cavity and most joints in the body are these. Fibrous joints normally having dense regular connective tissue. Types: suture immobile syndesmosis slightly mobile or immobile or gomphosis immobile. Adjoining bones united by cartilage (fibrocartilage) that are slightly movable. Types: synchondrosis (hyaline cartilage) that are immobile and symphysis. Plane joints: movement can occur in any direction, but the amount of movement is slight . Hinge joints: permits angular motion in a single plane example: humerus and ulna. Pivot joint: permits rotation only on a single plane: example: ulna and radius. Condyloid joints: an oval articular face nestles within a depression on the opposing surface; angular motion occurs on two planes example: metacarpals and phalanges. Saddle joint: permits angular movement, including circumduction, but prevents rotations.
