Joints (1)

Are points where two or more bones meet, or cartilage and bones meet

Joints (2)

Most joints allow the bones to move relative to each other

Structure of axial vertebrae (3)

Different types of joints allow different types of movements

Type of joints

- Immovable joints - Slightly moveable joints - Freely moveable joints

Immovable joints

For example, suture at the cranium of the skull

Slightly moveable joint

For example, cartilage discs between the vertebrae, and cartilage between the first rib and sternum
