contact between bones or between bone and cartilage. Joint Classifications Joints are classified by: The degree of movement they allow The structure of the joint The three types of joints that we will look at are: 1. Fibrous joints 2. Cartilaginous joints 3. Synovial joints Fibrous Joints These joints are also called "fixed" or "immoveable" joints‚ because they do not move.

the gym. As we start to avoid favorable activities‚ our muscles grow weak and shrink in size. The lack of physical activity not only takes its toll on our muscles‚ but to our bones as well. Wolff’s law states that the bone density changes in response to the changes in the functional forces on the bone. In mature bones‚ the bone elements place or displace themselves‚ and decrease or increase their mass‚ in response the mechanical demands imposed on them

The following tissues are found in the human body‚ ordinary loose connective tissue‚ fat tissue‚ dense fibrous tissue‚ cartilage‚ bone‚ blood‚ and lymph. These are all part of the connective tissue.

In this paper‚ the anatomy of the joint will be discussed. The knee is a hinge-type‚ diarthrotic‚ or freely moveable joint. Also referred to as a synovial joint‚ the 2 articulating ends of bone are encased in a capsule that lubricates the joint with synovial fluid to reduce friction. Each bone in a synovial joint has articular cartilage at the articulating surface. The C-shaped medial and lateral menisci serve to deepen the articulation at the superior surface of the tibia‚ thus enhancing
