Hey, everybody. Welcome to today's lesson on the joints of the body. This essential topic forms the foundation for understanding and identifying joints on a radiograph. In this video, we'll cover appropriate medical terminology related to arthrology, identify the joints of the body, and discuss joint classifications, mobility, and movement. Let's get started. Arthrology is the study of the joints or articulations between bones. Joints allow bones to provide support for the body, safeguard internal organs, and facilitate movement. These joints are categorized as either functional or structural. The primary classification of joints is structural, but it is important to have at least a base level understanding of functional joints. The classification of functional joints is determined by their mobility or lack thereof and can be categorized as follows. Synarthrosis, immovable joint. Amphiarthrosis.
