Study Question Two

• Q2. Explain the general structural and functional differences of the three major joint types
• Synarthrosis are the most stable
• Synarthroses have no movement
• Synarthrosis rarely break or get damaged
• Synarthroses protect delicate internal organs
• Synarthroses is a joint which is held together by dense irregularly arranged connective tissue
• Sutures are classified under synarthroses
• Synarthroses allows forces to be spread from bone to bone with little movement, decreasing a risk of injury
• Gomphosis is classified under synarthroses
• Synchondrosis is classified under synarthroses
• Synostosis is classified under synarthroses
• Amphiarthroses is the second most stable
• Amphiarthroses can allow for very limited movement
• Amphiarthroses generally do not move but can if necessary
• Amphiarthroses is typically between paired bones
• Synarthrosis examples include the sutures, teeth, ribs
• Amphiarthroses examples include between the pubic bones
• Amphiarthrosis are held together by fibrous cartilage, hyaline cartilage, fibrous connective tissue (ligament)
• Amphiarthrosis have limited movement
• In the amphiarthrosis, the bones are further apart than synarthroses
• Syndesmosis is classified under amphiarthroses
• Symphysis is classified under amphiarthroses
• Explain the general STRUCTURAL and functional difference of the three major joint types. 

  Fibrous joints are primarily composed of dense connective tissue. Cartilaginous joints are made of fibrous or hyaline cartilage. Finally, synovial joints are the only joint type with a joint cavity containing synovial fluid and synovial membrane with ligaments.
• Explain the general structural and functional difference of the three major joint types.

  Fibrous are generally immovable, have very limited movement, provide stability and strength, and connect bones tightly together. Cartilaginous allow limited movement, they also absorb shock and serve as a connection between bones. Finally, synovial joints allow a wide range of movement and are flexible
