Definition: A joint or articulation is a place in the body where two bones come together. CLASSES OF JOINTS. Joints are classified according to how the bones are held together. The three types of joints are fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. Fibrous Joints.
General Anatomy of Synovial Joints •Articular cartilage—layer of hyaline cartilage that covers the facing surfaces of two bones –Usually 2 or 3 mm thick •Joint (articular) cavity—separates articular surfaces •Synovial fluid—slippery lubricant in joint cavity –Rich in albumin and hyaluronic acid
Joints of the Lower Limb. The lower limb contains large and small joints. Hip joint – allows flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and medial and lateral rotation of the lower limb. It is a synovial ball and socket joint formed by the articulation between the acetabulum and the proximal femur.
