Q.Distinguish between fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial joints, giving one example of each.

[!TLDR]

Fibrous joints are immovable, cartilaginous joints are slightly movable, and synovial joints are freely movable. …

Fibrous joints are immovable joints in which two bones are held tightly together by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue with no cavity between them, as at the sutures between the flat bones of the skull. Cartilaginous joints are slightly movable joints in which the adjoining bones are connected by a pad or disc of cartilage, permitting limited bending or compression, as at the symphysis pubis between the two pubic bones or between the bodies of adjacent vertebrae. Synovial joints are freely movable joints, distinguished by a fluid-filled joint cavity lined by a synovial membrane secreting lubricating synovial fluid, with the bone ends capped by smooth articular cartilage and the whole joint held together by …

Order the three joint classes by increasing movement (fibrous < cartilaginous < synovial) and …

Assuming cartilaginous joints permit no movement at all (like fibrous joints) -- they actually permit slight movement, which is w …
