A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact. They are constructed to allow movement and provide mechanical support, and are classified structurally and functionally.

Classification

Depiction of an intervertebral disk, a cartilaginous joint. Diagram of a synovial (diarthrosis) joint.

Joints are mainly classified structurally and functionally. Structural classification is determined by how the bones connect to each other, while functional classification is determined by the degree of movement between the articulating bones. In practice, there is significant overlap between the two types of classifications.

Terms ending in the suffix -sis are singular and refer to just one joint, while -ses is the suffix for pluralization.

Structural classification

Structural classification names and divides joints according to how the bones are connected to each other. There are three structural classifications of joints:

How to install expansion joints when pouring a concrete driveway?
Q. I am going to be installing a concrete driveway. I have tore out the excisting asphalt driveway and formed up for the concrete. How do I install the expansion joints?

A. The expansion joints are formed either by you putting thin wooden slats in that leave slots, or, while you are smoothing the surface, you actually shape the slots with your trowel. Usually the individual section can be about 4' x 6', and larger if you use heavy duty steel grids to strengthen the concrete. With your measurements I would do one down the center, and the others at 6' to 8' intervals. Since this also depends on the quality of the concrete you'll use, you may want to double check that with your concrete supplier. Depending on the size of the vehicles you'll be running across that, I would think that you want at least a 6" thickness, and more if the underground isn't very hard and stable. Use one to two inch gravel as a base. I… [cont.]

Q. My leaned in and I am unable to drive it. I was told that I need to have my ball joints replaced and now I think my tire rod has broken.

A. HI its tie rod not tire rod... The tie rod is what attaches the wheel to the steering linkage and actually steers the tires. The ball joint is what attaches the wheels to the front suspensionn. The ball joints would be at the center point of the tires and the tie rod ends are at ether the front or the back of the tires depending on if it is front steer or rear steer. good luck tim
