What are three major categories of joints, and how are they classified

How does the structure of fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints determine their level of mobility?

Why is it important for some joints (like sutures in the skul) to be immovable, while others allow free movement?

What are the key strucural components found in every synovial joint

How do ligaments, tendons,and bursae contribute to the function of synovial joints?

What role does synovial fluid play in joint health and movement?

Why are synovial joints considered the most mobile type of joint

How do articular cartilage and the joint capsule support movement while preventing damage?

What trade-offs exists between joint mobility and stability in synovial joints

What is the difference between flexion adn extension and where do these movements occur in the body

How do abduction and adduction differ and what are examples of each movement 

How do pronation and supination differ in forearm 

What are some examples of special movements like dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, inversion, and eversion

Why are axial joints typically more stable but less mobile than appendiculae joints

How does joint staility prevent injury, and what trade-off does this crearte with range of motion

What examples from the body illustrate the extremes of stability vs. mobility 

What are the two main types of joints found between vertebrae, and what movements so they allow

How do intervertebral discs contribute to both flexibility and schock absorption in the spine

Why is spinal mobility different in the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions

What is the structural changes occur in the spine with intervertebral disc disease

How odoes osteoporosis weaken bone tissue, and why does this increase the risk of fractures

What lifestyle or medical interventions can help prevent or slow these conditions

How does the structure of the shoulder joint allow for a wide range of motion but reduce stability

Why is the hip joint more stable than the shoulder joint , and how does it structure support weight bearing

What are the main types of arthritis and how do they differ in cause

How does the arthrities affect cartilage, synovial fluid, and overall joint function
