EzraJoints can be classified as fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial based on the type of connective tissue that binds the bones together. Fibrous joints have minimal movement, while cartilaginous joints allow for limited movement. Synovial joints are freely movable and contain synovial fluid to reduce friction. All joints serve to connect bones, but their structure and mobility differ.
