Fibrous Joints
Fibrous Joints
Joints where bones are connected by fibrous tissue, and there is no movement.
Cartilaginous Joints
Cartilaginous Joints
Joints where bones are connected by cartilage, allowing limited or no movement.

Study Notes
General Anatomy for Public Health - Practical 3: Joints
- A joint is the point where two or more bones meet.
- Joints are categorized by the material (tissue) separating the bones: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial.
- Fibrous joints: Bones connected by fibrous tissue; no movement.
- Examples: sutures of the skull, gomphosis (teeth in jaw sockets), syndesmosis (tibio-fibular joint).
- Cartilaginous joints: Bones connected by cartilage; limited movement.
- Subtypes:
- Primary (synchondrosis): Temporary cartilage between bones; no movement (e.g., epiphyseal plates in long bones).
- Secondary (synchondrosis): Permanent cartilage between bones; limited movement (e.g., intervertebral discs, pubic symphysis).
- Subtypes:
- Synovial joints: Have a special structure; range of movement.
- Classified by the number of axes of movement: uniaxial, biaxial, polyaxial, plane.
- Uniaxial:Â One axis of movement (e.g., hinge, pivot).
- Biaxial: Two axes of movement (e.g., condyloid, saddle).
- Polyaxial: Multiple axes of movement (e.g., ball and socket).
- Plane: Gliding movement (e.g., intercarpal).
- Classified by the number of axes of movement: uniaxial, biaxial, polyaxial, plane.
- Factors affecting joint stability:
- Bony structure, surrounding muscles, ligaments.
