Joints

• Fibrous:
• 1. Suture
• 2. Gomphosis
• 3. Syndesmosis

• Cartilaginous:
• 1. Synchondrosis
• 2. Symphysis

• Solid joints:
• - adjacent surfaces are linked by fibrous connective tissue, or cartilage
• - restricted movement compared to synovial joints

• Synovial joints:
• - connected skeletal components separated by a narrow articular cavity
• - have a layer of (usually hyaline) cartilage -> covers articulating features
• - presense of joint capsule (inner synovial membrane & fibrous membrane)

adjacent bones are linked by a thin connective tissue layer (sutural ligament)

• b/w teeth & adjacent bone
•  short collagen tissue fibers in the periodontal ligament run b/w tooth root and & bony socket

2 adjacent bones linked by a ligament

2 ossification centers in a developing bone remain sepearated by a layer of cartilage

• 2 separate bones are interconnected by cartilage
• Most occur on midline

• Articular cartilage
• Articular (joint) capsule
• Synovial membrane

• Hinge
• Condyloid
• Bicondylr
• Pivot
• Saddle
• Ball-and-Socket
• Plane
