- Examples of synovial joints include the joints in the legs and the temporomandibular joint which joins the skull to the lower jaw. Fibrous joints allow very little movement. The bones are held together tightly by tough, fibrous tissue. Fibrous joints include those that join the bones of the skull together.

- Suture joints are one type of fibrous joint. They are the type of joint that connect the flat bones of the skull which meet in a tooth-like pattern. The fibrous tissue of these joints is continuous with the periosteum, and the joints are synarthroses (immovable).

What is an Immovable Joint? There are several examples of these joints in the human body, including joints between the bones of the skull, joints in the pelvis and joints between the teeth and the mandible, or lower jaw, and the maxilla, or upper jaw. Another name for an immovable joins is a synarthrosis, which simply means immovable. The two types of immovable joints are fibrous joints and cartilaginous joints. Among fibrous joints, there are two types that are considered to be an immovable joint: a suture joint and a gomphoses joint. In a suture joint, the edges of the joined bones fit tightly together much like pieces of a puzzle.

Temporomandibular Joint The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the main connection between the skull and the lower jaw. It comprises the participating area of the squamous portion of the temporal bone, the articular disc within the joint capsule, the head of mandible and the surrounding ligaments. The temporomandibular ligament is located on the lateral aspect of the capsule and its function includes preventing the lateral or posterior displacement of the condyle.

Dislocation of the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) A+. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), located just in front of the lower part of the ear, allows the lower jaw to move. The TMJ is a ball-and-socket joint, just like the hip or shoulder. When the mouth opens wide, the ball (called the condyle) comes out of the socket and moves forward, going back into place when the mouth closes.

Facet joint The facet joints, (or zygapophysial joints, zygapophyseal, apophyseal, or Z-joints) are a set of synovial, plane joints between the articular processes of two adjacent vertebrae. There are two facet joints in each spinal motion segment and each facet joint is innervated by the recurrent meningeal nerves.

joint Each is classified according to structure and movability as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial. Fibrous joints are immovable, cartilaginous joints are slightly movable, and synovial joints are freely movable. Typical immovable joints are those connecting most of the bones of the skull with a sutural ligament.

Joints that unite bones with cartilage are called cartilaginous joints. There are two types of cartilaginous joints: (1) A synchrondosis is an immovable cartilaginous joint. One example is the joint between the first pair of ribs and the sternum.(2) A symphysis consists of a compressable fibrocartilaginous pad that connects two bones. This type of joint allows for some movement.2) The fibrous articulations between the teeth and the mandible or maxilla are called gomphoses and are also immovable. (3) A syndesmosis is a joint in which a ligament connects two bones, allowing for a little movement (amphiarthroses). The distal joint between the tibia and fibula is an example of a syndesmosis.

Some are immovable, such as the sutures where segments of bone are fused together in the skull.inge joint a synovial joint that allows movement in only one plane, forward and backward. Examples are the elbow and the interphalangeal joints of the fingers. The jaw is primarily a hinge joint but it can also move somewhat from side to side.

Types of Joints Joints may be classified functionally based upon how much movement they allow. 1  A joint that permits no movement is known as a synarthrosis. The sutures of the skull and the gomphoses that connect the teeth to the skull are examples of synarthroses.  An amphiarthrosis allows a slight amount of movement at the joint.

Cervical Spine Anatomy On each lateral mass is a superior and inferior facet (zygapophyseal) joint. The superior articular facets are kidney-shaped, concave, and face upward and inward. These superior facets articulate with the occipital condyles, which face downward and outward.

Skeletal System The bones of the inferior and anterior portion of the skull are known as facial bones and support the eyes, nose, and mouth. The hyoid is a small, U-shaped bone found just inferior to the mandible. The hyoid is the only bone in the body that does not form a joint with any other bone—it is a floating bone.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder The temporomandibular joint is actually two pairs of joints that make it possible for the jawbone to both rotate and slide. This joint connects the lower jaw to the skull. The temporomandibular joints can be found on either side of the head in front of the ears. These joints allow us to talk, chew and yawn.

Joints The joints of the skull are called sutures. Slightly movable – two or more bones are held together so tightly that only limited movement is permitted – for example, the vertebrae of the spine. Freely movable – most joints within the human body are this type. Motion is the purpose of the joint.
