    TYPES OF JOINTS
    Joints are classified according to the kind of material holding the bones together and the relative freedom and kind of motion at the particular joint.
    1. Fibrous Joints: Varying degrees of motion, from none to some, are possible in fibrous joints.
    (1) Syndesmosis. When the bones are held together by FCT (fibrous connective tissue), the joint is referred to as a syndesmosis.
    SYN = together
    DESMOS = fiber (a tying material)
    Example: The inferior tibio-fibular joint.
    (2) Suture. When the bones are quite close together with a minimum of FCT, the joint is known as a suture. Example: the joints between the cranial bones.
    2. Bony Joints: Should the bones be united by bony material, the joint is referred to as a synosteosis.
    SYN = together
    OSTEO = bone
    Example: The frontal bone. (The frontal bone of the skull is actually a bony fusion of two bones. Approximately 10 percent of the time, this fusion fails to take place; the original suture between the bones remains and is called a metopic suture.)
    3. Cartilagenous Joints: These are also nonmovable joints.
    (1) Synchondrosis. A cartilagenous joint in which the bones are held together by hyaline cartilage.
    SYN = together
    CHONDRO = cartilage
    Example: Epiphyseal plate.
    (2) Symphysis. A cartilagenous joint in which the bones are held together by a disc of fibrocartilage.
    Example: Pubic symphysis.
    4. Synovial Joints: In the synovial type of joints, the bones move on one another so as to allow various motions of
    the body parts. The “ovial” part of the name refers to the fact that the fluid substance seen in this type of joint
    appeared to the old anatomists to be like raw egg white (ovum = egg).

A concave mirror is used to form virtual , upright and magnified images, when the object is positioned within focal point and pole of mirror. This property of concave mirror makes it useful for dentists to view magnified images of tooth and cavity etc.
