Structural Classification of Synarthroses

bones are held together by fibrous connective tissue or cartilaginous tissue.
structural classification of amphiarthrosis

the bones are held together either by cartilage or fibers
structural classification of diarthrosis

have a synovial cavity and the bones forming the joint are united by a surrounding articular capsule and frequently by accessory ligament.
joints between carpals, tarsals, clavicel on the sternum & scapula

gliding joint
knee, elbow, ankle, inter-phalangela joints

hinge joint
atlas rotates around the dens

pivot joint
joint at the wrist between the radius and carpals

condyloid joint
shoulder joint and hip joint are the only 2

ball and socket joint
found on the artiulating surfaces of bones; composed of hyaline cartilage

articular cartilage
cushions around the joint

fat pads
anchor bones to bone

ligament
anchor muscles to bone

tendon
these two are fibrous synarthroses;

suture and gomphosis
examples of what kind of joint

synarthroses (immovable)
examples of intervertebral disks and pubic symphysis
