synarthroses
immovable joints
-
diarthroses
freely movable joints
-
amphiarthorses
slightly moveable joints
-
suture
- type of synarthroses
- fibrous
- joint located only between the bones of the skull
-
gomphoses
- type of synartroses
- fibrous
- binds the teeth to bony sockets in the maxillae and mandible
-
synchondrosis
- type of synarthroses
- cartilaginous
- rigit, cartilaginious bridge between two bones
- ex. connection between the ends of the first pair of vertebrosternal ribsa nd the sternum
-
synostosis
- type of synarthroses
- bony fusion
- totally rigid immovable joint when two bones fuse and boundry between them disappears
-
syndesmosis
- type of amphiarthrosis
- fibrous

- type of amphiarthrosis
- cartilaginous
- connection by a fibrous cartilage pad
- ex. between right and left pubic bones of pelvis, between adjacent vertebral bodies along vertebral column
-
synovial
- types of diarthrosis
- monoaxial- permits movement in one plane- elbow, ankle
- biaxial- two planes- ribs, wrist
- triaxial- 3 planes- shoulder hip
-
gliding joint
- synovial joint
- slight nonaxial or multiaxial
- ex. acromioclavicular, intercarpal/intertarsal joints
-
hinge joint
- synovial joint
- monoaxial
- ex. elbow, knee, ankle, interphalangeal joint
-
pivot joint
- synovial joint
- monoaxial (rotational)
