By type of tissue
Cartilaginous Joints / Articulations cartilagineuses
Bones <---> Cartilage
Synchondroses / Synchondroses
(Primary cartilaginous, bones united by hyaline cartilage, e.g., epiphyseal plates, little or no movement)
The 1st sternocostal joint
Symphyses / Symphyses
(Secondary cartilaginous, bones united by fibrocartilage, e.g., pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs, slight movement)
Synovial Joints / Articulations synoviales
Bones separated by a fluid-filled joint cavity
Pivot / Trochoïde
Condyloid / Condylaire (ellipsoïde)
Hinge / Ginglyme
Saddle / En selle
Ball-and-socket / Enarthrose (sphéroïde)
Plane / Arthrodie (plane)
Sternocostal joints ( except the 1st one)
Interchondral joints
Costal head joint
Costal transverse joint
Fibrous Joints / Articulations fibreuses
Bones <---> fibrous connective tissue
Syndesmoses / Syndesmoses (Bones connected by ligaments, e.g., tibia and fibula, slight movement)
Costalchondral joints
Joint of the 11th and 12th ribs
Costovertebral joints
**Gomphoses / Gomphoses
Sutures/ Sutures
By degree of movement
Amphiarthrosis / Amphiarthrose (Slightly movable joints)
Diarthrosis / Diarthrose (Freely movable joints, synonymous with synovial joints)
Synarthrosis / Synarthrose (Immovable joints)
Structures within a synovial joint (articulation synoviale)
Articular cartilage / Cartilage articulaire: Friction reduction and shock absorption.
Synovial membrane / Membrane synoviale: Produces synovial fluid.
Joint cavity / Cavité articulaire: Space for movement.
Synovial fluid / Liquide synovial: Lubrication and nourishment
no joint cavity
little to no movement.
no joint cavity; slight movement or immovable.
Most common type; freely movable joints
