About this document
Types and Functions of Joints by rabia Toor is a document available to read on EtoBox.
There are three main types of joints: fibrous joints which allow little movement, cartilaginous joints which connect bones through cartilage, and synovial joints which have the most movement. Synovial joints are further classified based on their shape and movement, such as ball-and-socket, hinge, and pivot joints. Joint stability comes from their shape, ligaments, muscles, and movement is described using terms like flexion, extension, and rotation.
