Joints are defined as structures that connect the bones in the skeleton. Joints are classified into three groups based on their range of motion. The first group, fibrous joints, includes joints where the bone surfaces directly contact each other and have hyaline cartilage or connective tissue. These joints do not have the ability to move. They are further divided into four subgroups: syndesmosis, sutura, schindylesis, and gomphosis. The second group, cartilaginous joints, includes semi-mobile joints where there is cartilage tissue between the bones that make up the joint. They are divided into two subgroups: synchondrosis and symphysis. The final group, synovial joints, refers to joints that have the ability to move. The joint surfaces are covered with hyaline cartilage and are connected to each other by the joint capsule and ligaments. The joint cartilage determines the shape of the joint surface and influences the direction and type of movement. The joint cavity is the space between the joint capsule and the joint surfaces. Joints are mostly found in the body as synovial joints and provide the ability to move.(AI)
