This document discusses joints and their classification, structure, and movements. It begins by defining joints as points of contact between bones, cartilage, or teeth. Joints are classified functionally as synarthrosis, amphiarthrosis, or diarthrosis based on their mobility. Structurally, joints are classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, or synovial based on their connective tissue and presence of a synovial cavity. Synovial joints are further classified by their shape and movements. The document concludes by discussing common joint disorders like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout.
