Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Joints are the part of the body that helps in movement. They are formed by the articulation of the surfaces of two or more bones. They consist of cartilage, synovial membrane, ligaments, tendons, synovial fluids, bursa and meniscus. Based on these components the joints are classified into several types. Joints are also differentiated based on their movement. Some joints are freely movable such as synovial joint whereas, others are immovable such as a suture.
