Cartilaginous joints
There are two types of cartilaginous joints, Primary and Secondary.
Cartilaginous Primary joint is only found in the first rib and end of long bones in the body. These joint allow some movement with no joint cavity. Slight movement is posible because the pads of cartalage compress. They also act as shock absorbers.

Cartilaginous Secondary joint is unlike the Primary it can move but for a small movement e.g. first rib up and down n the slightest form. It is placed in the ribs all of them bar the first and in the vertebrae which are flexible but only to an extent with the ribs just in and out with a little up and down.

Synovial joints
Synovial joints are the most common joints in the body. There are many places in the body, which they are found. A Synovial joint is the most important joint in the body to most sports as they contain quick and sudden movements. They Synovial joint works as a form of a shock absorber. Using the fluid in the joint, which is called Synovial fluid, does this. With out the fluid the joint would more or less be pointless. The joint is a hinge joint it allows movement only in 2 directions if it is not broken or unconnected in the joint. It can only move forwards and backwards like a hinge on a door. This joint is located in 2 main areas, which is your knee and your elbow. If there were another joint here it would not be so affective as the Synovial joint. They also have Synovial membrane to join the bones together and there is also articular cartilage, Synovial cavity and finally fibrous capsule. With out these important factors the Synovial joint wouldn’t be able to do what it does so well.
Knee. The knee is most probable the most important of all of them as the Synovial fluid acts as a shock absorber.
If your were to fall and you had no Synovial fluid there would be nothing to absorb the shock of the impact there for there would be a good chance the your bones would just brake. Your Synovial fluid is a shock absorber, which is what lets you walk with out being in pain if you had no Synovial fluid it would hard to walk and any sport would be hard to do.
Here is an example of a knee joint.

There are also many other joints that are Synovial, which also contain Synovial fluid. Another famous joint is the ball and socket joint that are found in your shoulder and your hip. Here is a picture of a ball and socket joint in the shoulder.

Task 3
Also there are some other types of joints that are found in the human body which are:
-
Gliding- found in the vertebrae.
Because one side is over the other gliding joint gives the body its flexibility so we are able to move in many directions and have structure. It is useful when you do gymnastics and you bend over to do hand stands

-
Hinge- found in the elbow and knee.
The hinge joint can only move in 1 direction back and forward. It is used inmost movements an example is use in rugby when you kick the ball because you extend your knee forcibly and is normally vital to win a game.

-
Condyloid- found in the wrist.
The condyloid joint is only situated in the wrist of a human it can move in all directions but not like the ball and socket. It is use in all rackets sports but mainly in badminton.

-
Pivot- found in the axis of the neck.
The pivot joint is in the neck of a human. It holds the neck in place and it allows about 180o of rotation.
-
Saddle- found in the thumb.
The saddle joint is only situated in
the thumb. There are 2 bones that rest
on each other and allows considerable
movement. Basketball is the main
example to be used as it is a very important par of the game and how you play.

-
Ball and socket- found in the hip
The ball and socket joint is the most
known joint in the body as it is the only one
that is capable of rotating 360o. this is very important in games like tennis as your
shoulder is under a lot of pressure with the smash.

All of these joint are important for the human body to move and to sustain its shape. With out the bones in our bodies the human body would only be a stain on the floor almost entirely made of water with no strong substance to sustain shape or movement and we wouldn’t have any protection which our bones provide.
