Joints.

• Functions of joints are they allow for movement, allows flexibility, provides a place for bones to be held together.
• Giving a thumbs up is a example of a saddle joint.
• Gliding joints are fount in the wrist.
• Order of joint classifications from Least Moveable to Most Moveable is.

  Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial.
• The more flexible a joint the more fragile it is.
• Tendons function to attach muscles to bones and other body part.​
• Tendons have no movement.
• Tendons are very strong due to the thickness.
• They have high tensile strength – They wont snap easily under strain​
• Ligaments function to attach bone to bones.
• Ligaments Consist of dense collagenous fibres and elastin  - Can withstand great pressure.
• In ligaments Due to presence of elastin have a degree of elasticity ​
• Ligaments Allow movement in multiple directions​.
• Ligaments Have less tensile strength than tendons.
• A joint is a place where two or more bones meet ​
• The three main types of joints in the body are Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial.
• Types of synovial joints are pivot joint( left to right)e.g neck, ball and socket joint(eg. hip or knee.), hinge joint (elbow), condyloid joint(between radius and carpal bones of wrist), saddle joint(move freely), plane joint( left to right, forward and back).
• condyloid joint, it allows the jaw, wrists, toes, and fingers to move up and down, from side to side, and around in circumduction.
• 3 types of connective tissues are ligaments, tendons, and cartilage
• The joint connecting the sternum to the ribs is cartilaginous.
• A joint is where 2 or more bones come together. Also, ligaments hold the joint together.
