1. A joint is the location where two or more bones meet, allowing for movement of body parts and locomotion.
2. Joints are classified based on structure and function. Structurally, joints are fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial. Functionally, joints are synarthroses (immovable), amphiarthroses (slightly movable), or diarthroses (freely movable).
3. Major joints of the body include the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and their variations between bones.

PTAN 1114 Tutorial
Unit 5: Introduction to joints/Arthrology
1. What is joint? Explain with function (5 M)
- A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact. - Bones of the body come together to form joints. - Movement occurs at these articulations. - Function of joint is to move the body part and locomotion
2. Explain in details the classification of the joint based on the structural and functional. Tabulate your answer (20 M)
Based on structural: Definition Sub-Types Example Fibrous Bone ends/parts united by Suture , syndesmosis and skull collagenic fibers gomphosis Cartilaginous Bone ends/parts united by (primary)Synchondrosis Pubic symphysis cartilage and (secondary)symphysis Synovial Bone ends/parts covered Plane, hinge,pivot, Hinge(elbow) , pivot and with articular cartilage and condyloid, saddle, ball and shoulder enclosed within an socket articular capsule lined with synovial membrane
Based on functional: Definition Example Synathrosis immovable Skull suture Amphiarthrosis Slightly movable Distal joint between the tibia and the fibula Diarthrosis Freely movable Elbow, shoulder and ankle
3. List out joints of pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, upper limb and lower limb (10 M)
Pectoral Girdle Upper Limb
- Acromioclavicular joint - shoulder joint - Sternoclavicular joint - elbow joint - radioulnar articulations - wrist joint Pelvic Girdle Lower Limb - sacroiliac joint -hip joint - lumbosacral joint - knee joint - ankle joint - subtalar joint 4. Name the following joint and its type.
