What is articulation? .....ANSWER..... a site where two or more
bones meet
what are the two functions of joints? .....ANSWER..... they give the
skeleton mobility and they hold the skeleton together
what are the two joint classifications .....ANSWER..... functional
and structural
what are the three subclassifications of functional joints?
.....ANSWER..... immobile, slightly mobile and freely moveable
,Page 2 of 79
what are the three subclassifications of structural joints?
.....ANSWER..... fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial
how are functional joints classified? .....ANSWER..... by the
amount of movement the joint allows
what is a synarthrosis joint? .....ANSWER..... an immovable joint
what is an amphiarthrosis joint? .....ANSWER..... a slightly
moveable joint
what is a diarthrosis joint? .....ANSWER..... a freely moveable
joint
what type of tissue is responsible for anchoring joints?
.....ANSWER..... fibrous connective tissue
what structurally classifies a joint as fibrous? .....ANSWER.....
bones are connected by FCT
what structurally classifies a joint as cartilaginous? .....ANSWER.....
the bone is joined by hyaline or fibrocartilage
,Page 3 of 79
what structurally classifies a joint as synovial? .....ANSWER.....
bones are joined in a joint cavity with lubricating fluid. this allows
for free movement.
Fibrous Joints .....ANSWER..... 1. the bones are joined by dense
fibrous connective tissue
2. there is no joint cavity
3. Most are synarthrotic (immovable)
4. there are three type of fibrous joints: sutures, syndesmoses,
gomphoses
what are the three types of fibrous joints? .....ANSWER..... sutures,
syndesmoses, gomphoses
Suture fibrous Joints .....ANSWER..... 1.Rigid interlocking joints
2.Immovable joints for protection of brain
3.Contain short connective tissue fibers

4.Fontanelles- "soft spots" between skull bones. These are wider
areas of connective tissue
5.Allow for growth during youth
6.In middle age, sutures ossify and fuse completely
syndesmoses fibrous joints .....ANSWER..... 1. 2 parallel bones
connected by ligaments (bands of fibrous tissue)
2. Fiber length varies so movement varies, i.e.,
Little to no movement at distal tibiofibular joint,
Large amount of movement at interosseous membrane connecting
radius and ulna
Gomphoses fibrous joints .....ANSWER..... 1.Specialized fibrous
joint that anchors the root of a tooth to its bony socket
2. Peg in socket joints of teeth in alveolar sockets
