New cards

Articulation

site where two or more bones meet (synonymous with "joint")

5
New cards

Synarthrosis

Provides strong support but no or very little mobility. Most fibrous joints fall into this functional category.

6
New cards

Amphiarthrosis

Provides strong support with some limited movement. Most cartilaginous joints fall into this functional category.

7
New cards

Diarthrosis

Allows for greater mobility at the expense of structural support. Most synovial joints are in this functional category.
