Fibrous Joints (Synarthroses)Fibrous Joints (Synarthroses)
Syndesmoses
•Fibrous bands connect 2 bones
•Joints between distal and radial end of ulna
Sutures
Teethlike projection interlock
Found in the skull
Gomphoses
Occurs between the root of tooth and alveolar process
Cartilaginous Joints (Amphiarthroses)Cartilaginous Joints (Amphiarthroses)
Synchondroses
•Has hyaline cartilage between articulating bones
•Articulation between first rib and sternum
•Also during growth years between epiphysis and diaphysis

Majority of joints between bones in Majority of joints between bones in the appendicular skeleton are the appendicular skeleton are synovial jointssynovial joints
Structure of Synovial JointsStructure of Synovial Joints
Sleeve-like extension of periosteum of articulating bones. Forms casing around bone end
Moist membrane that lines inner surface of joint capsule
Thin layer of hyaline cartilage cushioning articulating surface of bone
Ligament
Cords of dense fibrous tissue. Lash bones firmly together
Pillow-like structure filled with synovial fluid. Function to cushion joint at bony prominances
Types of Synovial JointsTypes of Synovial JointsUniaxial permit movement around only Uniaxial permit movement around only one axis and in only one planeone axis and in only one plane– Hinge jointHinge joint– Pivot jointsPivot joints
Biaxial permit around 2 perpendicular Biaxial permit around 2 perpendicular axes and planesaxes and planes– Saddle jointsSaddle joints– Condyloid jointsCondyloid joints
Multiaxial permit movement around 3 or Multiaxial permit movement around 3 or more axes and planesmore axes and planes– Ball and socket jointsBall and socket joints– Gliding jointsGliding joints
Types of Synovial JointsTypes of Synovial JointsHinge Joint: distal bone can move only in one plane, flexion and extension (forward and backward).
pivot joint´s movement is limited to rotation.
Ball and SocketDistal bone can move around a center in an indefinite number of axes.
CondyloidDistal bone has an ovoid articular surface and is received into an elliptical cavit, which makes it impossible for the bones to perform axial rotation.
GlidingThe main movements are flexion-extension and rotation.
saddle joint consists of two opposing surfaces that are reciprocally concave-convex, wich allows flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and circumduction, but no axial rotation.
