Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of joints: Joints are classified based on their structure and function. The main types are fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints.
Identify the characteristics of fibrous joints: These joints are connected by dense connective tissue and do not have a joint cavity. Examples include sutures in the skull.
Identify the characteristics of cartilaginous joints: These joints are connected entirely by cartilage and also lack a joint cavity. Examples include the intervertebral discs.
Identify the characteristics of synovial joints: These joints are unique because they have a joint cavity filled with synovial fluid, which allows for greater mobility. Examples include the knee and elbow joints.
Conclude that the synovial joint is the type of joint that has a joint cavity, distinguishing it from fibrous and cartilaginous joints.
