Fibrous joints are where adjacent bones are strongly united by fibrous connective tissue. The gap filled by connective tissue may be narrow or wide. The three types of fibrous joints are sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses. A suture is the narrow fibrous joint that unites most bones of the skull.

There are two ways to classify joints: on the basis of their structure or on the basis of their function. The structural classification divides joints into fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints depending on the material composing the joint and the presence or absence of a cavity in the joint.

['Gliding joints: only allow sliding movement.', 'Hinge joints: allow flexion and extension in one plane.', 'Pivot joints: allow bone rotation about another bone.', 'Condyloid joints: perform flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction movements.']

Based on the shape of the articulating bone surfaces and the types of movement allowed, synovial joints are classified into six types. ... Hinge joints, such as at the elbow, knee, ankle, or interphalangeal joints between phalanx bones of the fingers and toes, allow only for bending and straightening of the joint.

The skeletal system includes four basic components, although some sources include a fifth, the joints. The four are the bones, which make up most of the mass of the skeletal system; cartilage, which acts mainly as padding; ligaments, which usually connect bones to bones; and tendons, which join muscles to bones.

In a cartilaginous joint, the bones are united by fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage. There are two main types: synchondroses (primary cartilaginous) and symphyses (secondary cartilaginous).

Fixed joints permit stability to certain areas of the body, although they do not move. Examples of fixed joints include the joints between the bones in the skull and the joint where the radius and ulna bones meet in the lower arm.

Joints hold the skeleton together and support movement. There are two ways to categorize joints. The first is by joint function, also referred to as range of motion. The second way to categorize joints is by the material that holds the bones of the joints together; that is an organization of joints by structure.

['Synarthrosis joints are immobile or have limited mobility and include fibrous joints.', 'Amphiarthrosis joints allow a small amount of mobility and include cartilaginous joints.', 'Diarthrosis joints are the freely movable synovial joints.']

The six types of synovial joints are pivot, hinge, condyloid, saddle, plane, and ball-and socket-joints (Figure 3). Figure 3. Types of Synovial Joints. The six types of synovial joints allow the body to move in a variety of ways.
