Joint functional category | Joint structural category | Description | Example |
Synarthrosis | Gomphosis | Immovablejoint; binds teeth to bony sockets in mandible and maxilla | Connection between teeth and socket |
Synarthrosis | Suture | Immovable joint; It is the type of fibrous joint in which the bones are bound together with the help of Sharpey's fibers. This joint helps in the formation of the skull the cranial suture for the protection of the brain. | It is seen in between the flat bones of the skull, as here it is required to provide compliance and elasticity for the skull. |
Synarthrosis | Synchondroses | Slightly movable joint: Ther is a white fibrocartilage pad in between the ends of the bone which is for the slight movement of the bone. As with the bone movement, there will be cartilage pad compression, which facilitates in the movement. | Seen in between the ends of the long bones, between the occipital and sphenoid bone, and between the petrous part of temporal to the jugular process of the occipital bone. |
Synarthrosis | Synostosis | Slight movement; It consists of a fibrous cartilage pad in between the the bones to be joined. | At the binding site of epiphyseal plate to epiphyseal line. It usually occurs during puberty. |
Amphiarthrosis | Syndesmosis | Slight movement; The adjacent bones are connected together with the help of connective tissue. | Seen in the distal end of tbia and fibula at the tibiofibular joint. |
Amphiarthrosis | Symphysis | Slightl movement; The joint is characterised with the presence of fibrous cartilage pad. The cartilage is of hyaline in nature. | Seen in pubic symphysis which is required for the holding of two halves o pubic bone and lodges many important organs, blood vessels, nerves, etc. |
Diarthrosis | Synovial: Monoaxial | Freely movble; It consists of synovial membrane which synovial fluid, which is the nourishing fluid and the bones has articular cartilage at its extremities. The synovial fluid help in the freely movement of bones as there is ligament and tendons to prevent bone detachment and synovial fluid as fushioing material to resist friction. In monoaxial the plane of movement is only one. | Seen in Pivot and hinge joint. Pivot joint in between atlas and axis while hinge joint i the elbow. Here all onlyone plane movement is required. |
Iivot | Synovial: Biaxial | Freely movable; The joint consists of synovial fluid bound by synovial membrane and as ligaments and tendons to prevent detachment of bone from muscle and adjacent bone respectively. These joint has two planes of movement. |
Seen in Ellipsoid or Condyloid bone seen in between metatrsal which are seen in between the metatarsal and phalanges. Also in saddle joint seen in between carpal and metatcrpal of the hand. |
Darthrosis | Synovial: Triaxial | Freely movable; The joint has synovial fluid in synvonial membrane and in bone articular cartilage ligament and tendon to held bones in position. The re a multiaxial plane of movement. | Seen in ball and socket joint of limds providing movement in all directions The ball in a socket like structure helps in the all axial rotation of the bone in all planes. |
