A joint is a place in our body where two bones connect. These connections are also called articulating surfaces. Joints allow our skeleton to move.

There are 3 types of joints in our body:

Fibrous Joints
Cartilaginous Joints
Synovial Joints
These types are based on the type of tissue that forms the joint. In addition, joints can also be classified based on their movement into three categories: Synarthrotic Joints, Amphiarthrotic Joints, and Diarthrotic Joints.

Fibrous Joints:
These joints connect two bones using dense fibrous connective tissue.

Suture Joints: These are found in our skull and tightly join the skull bones together. In childhood, these joints are slightly loose but become very tight as we grow older. These joints don't allow any movement, so they are called Synarthrotic, or immovable, joints.

Gomphosis: This is another example of a fibrous joint, located between the teeth and jawbone. Like suture joints, gomphosis joints don't allow movement and are also Synarthrotic, or immovable, joints.

Syndesmosis: This type of fibrous joint connects two bones side by side, such as the joint between the radius and ulna. This joint is looser than the other two fibrous joints and has a small amount of fibrous ligament. Therefore, there is slight movement, and these joints are classified as Amphiarthrotic, or slightly movable, joints.

Cartilaginous Joints.

A cartilaginous joint, as the name suggests, is made of cartilage. Cartilage is a tough yet flexible connective tissue. These joints are found in our vertebral column, like the vertebral disks, as well as in the pubic symphysis and between the ribs and sternum. Because cartilaginous joints are flexible, they allow some movement, which is why they are also categorized as Amphiarthrotic, or slightly movable, joints.

Synovial Joints.

The most common type of joints in our body are synovial joints. These joints have a fluid-filled cavity between the ends of two bones, called the synovial capsule. All synovial joints in our body are movable, so they are classified as Diarthrotic, or movable, joints.

Synovial joints are further divided into 6 types based on their range of motion:

Plane Joints: These joints are found between the carpals in our wrist and allow gliding motion.

Hinge Joints: These joints move in a single axis, allowing flexion and extension movements. Examples include the elbow and knee joints.

Pivot Joints: These joints also move in a single axis but allow rotatory movement. An example is the atlantoaxial joint in our neck.

Condyloid (Ellipsoid) Joints: In these joints, one bone's end surface is oval-shaped, and the other is socket-shaped. These joints allow almost all types of motions, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction. An example is the metacarpophalangeal joint.

Saddle Joints: These joints are formed between convex and concave articulating surfaces. They allow almost all types of motions except rotation. An example is the carpometacarpal joint.

Ball and Socket Joints: These are highly movable joints. One surface is shaped like a ball, and the other like a socket, allowing all kinds of motion, such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, circumduction, and rotation. Examples include the shoulder and hip joints.
