    - hinge joints - fingers
    - pivot joints- joints between cervical vertebrae 1&2
    - condyloid joints- wrist
    - saddle joints- between malleus and incus
    - ball and socket- hip and shoulder
- altered tissue biology
  - osteoarthritis- erosion of cartilage with joints
  - rheumatoid arthritis- autoimmune disease of joints
tendons
- tough, non-elastic
- Associated with MUSCLES
- aponeuroses- broad, flat sheets of tendon
ligaments
- mainly elastic fibres
- membrane
- connect BONE TO BONE or BONE to CARTILAGE to CARTILAGE
- fascia- divides muscle fibres into functional units, varies in thickness and density
Cartilage
- hylaine
  - covers joints
  - tough, semi-rigid
  - poor blood supply
- elastic
  - flexible
  - found in ear, epiglottis
- fibrous
  - dense/tough
