Joints can be classified: Histologically, on the dominant type of connective tissue. ie fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. Functionally, based on the amount of movement permitted. ie synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slightly moveable), and diarthrosis (freely moveable) [1].

Sep 25, 2024 · Joints are classified both structurally and functionally. Structural classifications of joints take into account whether there is a space (joint cavity) between the bones or whether the gap is fully filled by either dense connective tissue or cartilage.
Structural classifications of joints take into account whether the adjacent bones are strongly anchored to each other by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the adjacent bones articulate with each other within a fluid-filled space called a joint cavity.
Joints are thus functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, which is a freely moveable joint (arthroun = “to fasten by a joint”).
