Summary Introduction

Case summary:

The joint movement occurs between the zygomatic bone and maxilla, coccyx and sacrum and elbows joint

Adequate information:

The movement of the joint is completely based on the structure of the bone and its location.

To determine:

The joint and movement occur between zygomatic and maxilla bone, coccyx and sacrum and elbow joints.

Given information:

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 a synovial joint. Some are slightly movable such as symphyses and others are immovable such as suture.
