Suture joints of skull - example of synarthrosis (immobile joint)

Coronal = crown

Intervertebral Disc - unites bodies of adjacent vertebrae within the vertebral column.

Multiaxial Joint - hip joint, allows for three types of movement (anterior-posterior, medial-lateral, rotational)

Fibrous Joints - form strong connections between bones. Interosseous membrane forms a syndesmosis between radius and ulna bones of the forearm. Gomphosis anchors a tooth to its socket in the jaw.

Fontanelles of a newborn’s skull are broad areas of fiborus connective tissue that form fibrous joints between bones in the skull.

Cartiliginous Joints - bones are united by hyaline cartilage to form a synchondrosis or by fibrocartilage to form a symphysis.

Synovial joints - allows for smooth movement between adjacent bones.

Bursae - serve to protect the friction between skin through the form of fluid-filled sacs

Synovial Joints: hinge, saddle, plane, condyloid, ball/socket, and pivot

Osteoarthritis - disease caused by aging or joint wear or tear or an extended period of time

Atlantoaxial Joint - pivot type of joint between dens and anterior arch of the atlas.

Temporomandibular Joint - articulation between the temporal bone of the skull and the condyle of the mandible. An articular disc is located between the three bones.

Glenohumeral Joint - ball-and-socket joint that provides the widest range of motions.
