Joints of the Human Body
* Where two bones come together is called a joint.
* Three (3) kinds of joints:
1) Immoveable – ex. Fused bones of the skull
2) Slightly moveable – small amount of movement is possible. Ex. Vertebrae
3) Fully moveable – joint is contained within a special capsule, with a ligament helping to hold the bones in place.

* Ligaments are connective tissue which are flexible and have a small amount of elasticity. To prevent friction there is cartilage synovial membrane that lines the capsule and
secretes synovial fluid.
* The capsule forms a tight seal around the joint to prevent the fluid from escaping

* Moveable joints are grouped according to some special characteristics they posses.
* Ball-and–socket allows movement in almost any direction ex. Shoulder and hip.

* Hinge – allows movement in one plane only. Two way ex. Elbow and knee

Pivot – radial or circular motion. Ex. Radius at elbow, neck (side to
side)

Gliding – more limited movement, one part slides over another ex. Vertebrae,
hands, feet
