Joints, Ligaments, and Bone Anatomy: A Comprehensive Review
Joint Types
Joint Types:
- Synarthrosis: Exhibits minimal mobility due to dense fibrous tissue. Example: skull sutures.
- Amphiarthrosis: Allows limited movement and elasticity due to a higher fiber content. Movement depends on the fiber arrangement. Example: intervertebral discs.
- Diarthro-Amphiarthrosis: Permits slight mobility and fixation. Example: sacroiliac joint (sacrum and innominate).
- Diarthrosis: Highly mobile joints with liquefied tissue and a fibrous joint capsule. Example: knee joint, containing
Archaic and Classical Greek Sculpture: Evolution

Infant Reflexes, Motor Skills, and Development Stages
Unit 3: Primary Reflexes
Previous step of the voluntary motor activity and movements.

Their main aim is to protect child’s life.
Children need time to take control over the reflexes.
Types of Primary Reflexes:
