I LEARNED ALL ABOUT JOINTS. JOINTS ARE THE PLACE WHERE THE BONES MEET; JOINTS ARE ALSO CALLED ARTICULATION. THIS IS HELD TOGETHER BY A LIGAMENT. JOINTS HAVE 3 TYPES ACCORDING TO FUNCTION THESE ARE IMMOBILE, CAN MOVE A LITTLE AND FREELY. JOINTS IS ALSO CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO STRUCTURE THESE ARE FIBROUS, CARTILAGINOUS AND SYNOVIAL. SYNOVIAL JOINTS ARE CLASSIFIED INTO 7 THE SADDLE, CONDYLOID, ELLIPSOIDAL, PIVOT, BALL & SOCKET, HINGE, AND GLIDING. SADDLE JOINT'S MOVEMENT IS UP&DOWN AND SIDE2SIDE. CONDYLOID'S MOVEMENT IS FROM OTHER PLACE TO ANOTHER BUT NO ROTATION. ELLIPSOIDAL HAS 2 AXES OF MOVEMENT. PIVOT ROTATES, BALL & SOCKET CAN DO ALL. HINGE ARE OPEN AND CLOSE. GLIDING ARE BACK AND FORTH. I ALSO LEARNED ABOUT CARTILAGE. THE SPECIAL CONNECTIVE TISSUE THAT CAN WITHSTAND FAIR AMOUNT OF FLEXION.
