The human skeletal system is a bodily system that functions as a framework which gives proper shape and protection to both the external and internal parts of the human body. The human skeletal system has six major functions in human anatomy including functions of support, movement, protection, blood cell production, storage and endocrine regulation. Basically, joints are classified structurally and functionally. Structural classification categorizes the joint based on how it connects the bones in the human skeletal system. On the other hand, functional classification is determined by the function which the joint serves.





There are fibrous joints that are connected by dense connective tissue composed of chondrocytes, a type of cell which produces collagen and fibers. there is also Synovial joints. they are the most mobile and movable among the three structural classification of the joints. there are seven Synovial joints present in the human skeletal system. In addition to the structural classification of joints their are the functional classification. Note that all synarthrosis joints are not fibrous.
