Joints


Individual bones of the skull are joined by sutures.
A suture is an example of a fibrous joint

Joints are formed when bones come in close proximity to each others and they are mainly of three types; fibrous, cartilagenous and synovial.


Fibruos joints are formed when a fibrous tissue unite between bones.


 
All the joints in the midline of the body are secondary cartilagenous joints



 











The synovial joints are the most complex among the three and they allow the widest range of movement

On the other hand cartilagenous joints are of two types, primary and secondary. What differentiate them into these two main sub- categories?

can you recall examples for these?
