1. Describe the two types of cartilaginous joints and give examples of each. 2. Both functional and structural classifications can be used to describe an individual joint. Define the first sternocostal joint and the pubic symphysis using both functional and structural characteristics.
Describe the structural features of cartilaginous joints; Distinguish between a synchondrosis and symphysis; Give an example of each type of cartilaginous joint
The cartilaginous joints have cartilage in between articulating bones to form a cartilaginous plate or disc. An example of a primary cartilaginous joint is the epiphyseal plate of a long bone, which disappears after puberty. An example of a secondary cartilaginous joint is the interver‐tebral disc between each vertebra.
Chapter Objectives. After this chapter, you will be able to: Discuss both functional and structural classifications for body joints. Describe the characteristic features for fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints and give examples of each. Define and identify the different body movements.
