Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the types of joints in the human body: Fibrous, Cartilaginous, and Synovial.
Fibrous joints are characterized by the presence of dense connective tissue that connects bones, allowing little to no movement.
Sutures of the skull are a type of fibrous joint, where the bones are tightly bound by fibrous tissue.
Cartilaginous joints allow more movement than fibrous joints and are connected entirely by cartilage, such as the joints between vertebrae.
Synovial joints are the most movable type of joint, characterized by a fluid-filled joint cavity, such as the knee or shoulder joints.
