ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Joints, also known as articulations, are a form of connection between bones. They provide stability to the skeletal system as well as allowing for specialized movement. Joints can be classified: Histologically, on the dominant type of connective tissue. ie fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial.

Detailed explanation-2: -A joint, also known as an articulation, is a location where two or more bones meet. Most joints contain a single articulation. Each articulation contains the names of two bones (or sockets).

Detailed explanation-3: -Histologically the three joints in the body are fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. Functionally the three types of joints are synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slightly moveable), and diarthrosis (freely moveable).

Detailed explanation-4: -Learning Objectives The point at which two or more bones meet is called a joint, or articulation. Joints are responsible for movement, such as the movement of limbs, and stability, such as the stability found in the bones of the skull.
