Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that joints in the human body are classified based on their structure and the material that connects the bones.
Identify the three main structural types of joints: Fibrous, Cartilaginous, and Synovial.
Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue and are mostly immovable, such as sutures in the skull.
Cartilaginous joints are connected by cartilage and allow more movement than fibrous joints but less than synovial joints, such as the intervertebral discs.
Synovial joints are characterized by a fluid-filled joint cavity that allows for a wide range of motion, such as the knee or shoulder joints.
