Articulations

Functional classifications of a joint are based on the 

• Range of motion
• anatomical organization (what it is made out of)
• location of joint (appendicular and axial)
• direction of motion

The three types of functional classifications are

• synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, diarthrosis
• synovial, cartilaginous, bony 
• synovial, fibrous, cartilaginous
• synarthrosis, synovial, cartilaginous 

Structural classifications of a joint are based on 

• range of motion
• anatomical organization (what it is made out of)
• direction of motion
• location of motion (appendicular or axial)

A synarthrosis is a(n)

• immovable joint
• slightly movable joint
• freely movable joint
• broken joint

An example of a synarthrosis joint would be the

• pubic symphysis

• cranial sutures

• sacroiliac

• pelvic girdle

An amphiarthrosis joint is a(n)

• freely movable joint
• slightly movable joint 
• immovable joint
• broken joint

An example of an amphiarthrosis joint is the 

• pubic symphysis
• cranial sutures
• teeth
• elbows

A diarthrosis is a(n) 

• immovable joint
• freely movable joint
• slightly movable joint
• broken joint

An example of a diarthrosis joint is the

• cranial sutures

• pubic symphysis

• elbows

• between radius and ulna

The two types of fibrous synarthrosis are:

• suture and gomphosis
• gomphosis and synchondrosis
• suture and synostosis
• synostosis and and gomphosis
