Joints • Immovable Joints • Bones separated by a thin layer of connective tissue • Bones of the skull • Slightly Movable Joints • Gaps between bones are held together by cartilage • Vertebrae • Freely Movable Joints • Bones are separated by a cavity • Bones are held to other bones by ligaments • Tendons hold muscles to bones • Hinge joint - Knees and elbows • Ball and socket joint - Hip and shoulder • Gliding joint - wrist and ankles
