are all joints the same?

2. Joints Can Be Grouped By Their Structure into Fibrous, Cartilaginous, and Synovial Joints. Fibrous Joints. Between the articulations of fibrous joints is thick connective tissue, which is why most (but not all) fibrous joints are immovable (synarthroses).

Hinge Joint A good example is the elbow joint, with the articulation between the trochlea of the humerus and the trochlear notch of the ulna. Other hinge joints of the body include the knee, ankle, and interphalangeal joints between the phalanx bones of the fingers and toes.

Lesson Summary Our bodies contain six types of synovial joints. Synovial joints are the most movable type of joint found in the human body. Joints are formed where bones come together. The six types of synovial joints are the pivot, hinge, saddle, plane, condyloid, and ball-and-socket joints.

Synovial joints are further classified into six different categories on the basis of the shape and structure of the joint. The shape of the joint affects the type of movement permitted by the joint. These joints can be described as planar, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, or ball-and-socket joints.

Synovial joints are subdivided based on the shapes of the articulating surfaces of the bones that form each joint. The six types of synovial joints are pivot, hinge, condyloid, saddle, plane, and ball-and socket-joints (Figure 9.4. 3). Figure 9.4.

There are three types of joints in the structural classification: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints. Fibrous joints are joints in which bones are joined by dense connective tissue that is rich in collagen fibers. These joints are also called sutures. The joints between bones of the cranium are fibrous joints.

The joints involved most frequently are the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints of the hands, the wrists, and small joints of the feet including the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints. The shoulders, elbows, knees, and ankles are also affected in many patients.

['The elbow: The elbow joint is a synovial hinge joint with two articulations. The trochlea of the humerus articulates with the trochlear notch of the ulna, and the capitulum of the humerus articulates with the head of the radius. ... ', 'The radioulnar joints: Two separate joints exist between the radius and the ulna.']

Ellipsoid joints: This joint is also known as a 'condyloid joint'. Ellipsoid joints allow back and forth and side to side movement. Such joints occur between the metacarpals and phalanges (between the bones of the hand and the bones of the finger) as seen in the adjacent image.

Joints bind the skeleton together, to give structure and allow muscles to move bones to perform certain tasks such as running, reaching and grasping. There are many types of joints the most common of which are synovial joints.

These joints are also called fixed or immovable joints because they do not move. Fibrous joints have no joint cavity and are connected via fibrous connective tissue. The skull bones are connected by fibrous joints called sutures.

Synarthrosis joints are called “fixed” or immovable” because they do not move. There are three different types of fixed joints in the body: sutures, syndesmoses and gomphoses. Sutures are the junctions between the skull bones.

['Ball-and-socket joints. Ball-and-socket joints, such as the shoulder and hip joints, allow backward, forward, sideways, and rotating movements.', 'Hinge joints. ... ', 'Pivot joints. ... ', 'Ellipsoidal joints.']

Based on the shape of the articulating bone surfaces and the types of movement allowed, synovial joints are classified into six types. At a pivot joint, one bone is held within a ring by a ligament and its articulation with a second bone. Pivot joints only allow for rotation around a single axis.

Joints are responsible for movement (e.g., the movement of limbs) and stability (e.g.,the stability found in the bones of the skull). There are two ways to classify joints: on the basis of their structure or on the basis of their function.
