Types of Joints:
Joints are commonly classified according to their function or structure. Functionally, they are diarthroses, synarthroses or amphiarthroses. Structurally, they are classified as fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial. The synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the body and include plane (gliding), condylar, hinge, pivot, ball and socket, and saddle joints.
