New cards
22

STRUCTURAL JOINT

The adjacent bones are strongly anchored to each other by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage

New cards
23

2.FUNCTIONAL JOINT

Describe the degree of movement available between the bones, ranging from immobile to slightly mobile, to freely movable joint

New cards
24

SLIGHTLY MOVABLE JOINT

These joints are not firmly fixed as are immovable joint, but the structure of bones and connective tissues in and around the joints restricts the range of motion to only a few degrees
