anatomy and physiology(articulations)

articulation

joint

structurally and fuctionally

joints are classified as:

fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial

three types of structural joints

syarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and diarthrosis

three functional types

syarthrosis

don’t move at all

amphiarthrosis

move a little bit

diarthrosis

move alot

fibrous joint

little to no movement

suture, syndesmosis and gomphosis, and interosseous membrane

three types of fibrous joints

coronal suture

example of a fibrous joint:

2, synchondrosis and symphysis

how many cartilaginous joints are there?

the growth plate is closed

classified as synarthrosis if:

synovial joint

have a synovial cavity and allows the joint to function as a diarthrosis

articular capsule

two layers enclose the synovial cavity

outer fibrous membrane

stabilizes the joint

inner synovial membrane

makes synovial fluid

knee

largest and most complex joint
