The Skeletal System
  1. Types of joint
    1. Synovial
      1. Mobility - Free movement
        1. Stability - Least Stable
          1. Example - Joints between the arms & Legs
          2. Cartilaginous
            1. Mobility - Little Movement
              1. Stability - Stable
                1. Example - Between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae in the cervica & thoracic
                  1. Example - Between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae in part of the lumbar spine
                  2. Fibrous
                    1. Mobility - No Movement
                      1. Stability - Most Stable
                        1. Example - Between the bones of the skull
                          1. Example - Between the fused bones of the sacrum and coccyx
                        2. Structure of Bone
                          1. Types of Synovial Joint
                            1. Ball & Socket

                                  1. The ball shaped head of one bone articulates with the socket of an adjacent bone
                                  2. Hinge

                                          1. A cylindrical protrusion of one bone articulates with an adjacent bone
                                          2. Pivot
                                            1. Radio-Ulnar
                                              1. Spine
                                                1. Wrist
                                                  1. A rounded or pointed structure of one bone articulates with a ring-shaped structure of an adjacent bone
                                                  2. Condyloid
                                                    1. Wrist
                                                      1. Similar to ball & socket but with much flatter articulating surfaces forming a shallower joint
                                                      2. Gliding
