Joint:
 In anatomy, a joint, also known as an articulation, is a structure that connects two or more
bones together. Joints provide mobility and allow for movement between bones, enabling
various actions such as bending, twisting, and extending.
Classification of joints:
Synarthroses joints
Synarthroses joints, also known as
immovable joints, are a type of joint
where the bones are held together by
dense fibrous connective tissue, such
as collagen fibers. These joints allow
for little to no movement between the
adjacent bones. Synarthroses joints
are highly stable and provide
structural support to the body.
The three main types of synarthroses
joints are
1) fibrous joint
2) cartilaginous joint
Fibrous joint :
Fibrous joints, also known as "fixed" or
"immovable" joints, are a type of joint
where adjacent bones are directly
connected by fibrous connective
tissue. These joints allow for little to no
movement between the bones they
connect. Fibrous joints are highly
stable and provide structural support
to the body.
There are three main types of fibrous
joints:
1)Suture
2)Syndesmosis
3)Gomphosis
Cartilaginous joint:
Cartilaginous joints, , are joints where
bones are united by cartilage. These
joints allow for limited movement and
are more flexible than fibrous joints but
less mobile than synovial joints.
There are two main types of
cartilaginous joints:
1)Synchondrosis
2)Symphysis
