Types of joints

This tutorial explores the types of joints in the human body, focusing on their classification by structure, mobility, and range of motion. It delves into synovial, fibrous, and cartilaginous joints, explaining their characteristics and subtypes. The video also covers joint mobility, detailing diarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, and synarthrosis, and discusses the axes of movement. It provides an in-depth look at synovial joint types, including ball and socket, hinge, pivot, condylar, saddle, and plane joints. Finally, it addresses joint stability, highlighting factors like contact, ligaments, and muscle tone.
