Joints

1. Immobile \ limited mobility

   • Fibrous joints
     • articular surfaces are connected by strong fibrous tissue
       • sutures of the skull
       • Gomphosis
       • syndesmosis
   • cartilaginous joints
     • bones are connected by cartilages
       • primary
         • contain hyaline cartilage
           • in the epiphyseal plate
           • b\w 1st rib and sternum
       • secondary
         • contain disc of dense white fibrous cartilage
           • present in the midline of body

2. Freely mobile

   • Synovial joint
     • structure
       • the whole cavity is covered by a fibrous capsule , articular surfaces of bones are covered by hyaline cartilage and the rest of the capsule is synovial membrane which produces lubricating synovial fluid

                   • management
                     • Oral anti-inflammatory medications -- such as aspirin, naproxen, or ibuprofen. The medicines are usually given for six to eight weeks since it often takes that long to fully treat the problem.
