Discuss one joint type elaborate on its structural and function classification, and how those related to the range of motion for that joint?
Expert Solution
Step 1- Introduction

Human anatomy and animal physiology is the branch of science that studies the form and function of the human body.

The presence of bones in the body not only gives the structure, support, and protection to the body but also important for the movement. Without the skeleton, our body would be a blob of water-filled tissues. A joint is the part of the skeleton that connects the skeletal bones. 

A joint ( or articulation) is the connection where the adjacent bones and cartilage come together. The structural classification of the joint divides the joint into three types,1. Fibrous joint, 2. Cartilaginous joint and, 3. Synovial joint. 

The joints are also classified functionally based on the amount of mobility found between the adjacent bones. Therefore, the immobile joints are classified as a Synarthrosis, the slightly moveable joints are classified as Amphiarthrosis and the freely moveable joints are classified as Diarthrosis
