The human skeleton frame is the framework of the body, it supports the softer tissues and

provides points of attachment for most The Joints

are fibrous Fibrous

Fibrous joints connect bones without allowing any movement. The bones of your skull
and pelvis are held together by fibrous joints. The union of the spinous processes and
vertebrae joints.

Cartilaginous
Cartilaginous joints are joints in which the bones are attached by cartilage. These
joints allow for only a little movment, such as in the spine or ribs.

Synovial
Synovial joints allow for much more movement than cartilaginous joints. Cavaties
between bones in synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate
and protect the bones. Bursa sacks contain* the synovial fluid.
* to enclose fixed limits.

Hinge
A hinge joint allows extension and retraction of an apendage.

Saddle
A saddle joint allows movement back and forth and up and down, bot does not allow
for rotation like a ball and socket joint.

Ball and Socket

A ball and socket joint allows for radial movment in almost any direction. They are found in the hips
and shoulders

Ellipsoid
Ellipsoid joints are similar to a ball and socket joint. They allow the same type of movment to a lesser magnitude. The wrist is an
ellipsoid joint.
Pivot
Pivot joints allow rotation arround an axis. The neck and forearms have pivot joints. In the neck the occipital bone spins over the
top of the axis. In the fjoint - (anatomy) the point of connection between two bones or

Cartilage is a stiff yet flexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans and other animals,
including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial
tubes and the intervertebral discs. ...
