Joints
Types of joints
• The joint is the point where two or more bones
meet. There are three main types of joints;
Fibrous (immoveable), Cartilaginous (partially
moveable) and the Synovial (freely moveable)
joint.
Fibrous Joints
• Fibrous (immovable joints): This type of joint is
held together by strong, fibrous, connective
tissues and as the name suggests , they permit
no movement.
• Examples are where the teeth are held to their
bony sockets at the jawbone & where the
bones of the skull come together.
Cartilaginous
Joints
• Cartilaginous joints (or slightly moveable joints)
are connected by cartilage & allow partial
movement.
• The stacked vertebrae bones in your spine are
held together by cartilaginous joints.
Synovial
Joints
• Synovial joints (or freely moveable joints)
provide the most movement and are the most
common of all joints found in the body.
• Some examples include; the shoulders, elbows,
wrists, hips, knees & ankles.

Things to help for your test :)
• Distinguish between the three types of muscles in your
body & give an example for each
• Describe how skeletal muscle contraction takes place beginning with an electrical impulse coming from the
brain
• Compare the 3 different types of muscle contractions &
give examples of each
• Explain how bones are connected together @ joints
• Describe the basic movements that occur by giving
examples of each type of movement
Things to help for your test :)
• Draw a rough illustration & label the following
• A) skeletal muscle with the muscle fibre,
fascicles, perimysium, epimysium, & muscle
tendon
• B) synovial joint & highlight the following parts;
joint cavity, joint capsule, articulating cartilage,
bursae, ligaments, tendons
• Be able to label muscles, joints & movements
