Synarthrosis- immovable joint can become synostosis (bony joint)
Amphiosis slightly movable
Diarthrosis freely movable
Three types of fibrous joints: 1. Suture between bones of skull synarthrosis become synostosis
2. Syndesmosis more distance fibrous connective tissue in sheet (ligament) amphiarosis
3. Gomphosis (dentoalveolar) cone-shaped peg in socket synarthrosis
Two types of cartilaginous joints 1. Synchondrosis hyaline cartilage synarthrosis
2. Symphysis fibrocartilage found on midline of body amphiarosis
