Weight bearing: Many joints of the body are weightbearing jointsthat is, they bear the weight of the
body parts located above them. Almost every joint of
the lower extremity and all the spinal joints of the
axial body are weight-bearing joints. As a rule, weightbearing joints need to be very stable to support the
weight that is borne through them.
Shock absorption: Joints can function to absorb shock.
This is especially important for weight-bearing joints.
The primary means by which a joint absorbs shock is
the cushioning effect of the fluid within the joint
cavity.
Stability: Even though the primary function of a joint
is to allow motion to occur, excessive motion would
create an unstable joint. Therefore a joint must be sufficiently stable that it does not lose its integrity and
become injured or dislocated.
Each joint of the body finds a balance between
mobility and stability.
Mobility and stability are antagonistic properties: A
more mobile joint is less stable; a more stable joint
is less mobile.

OVERVIEW
The discussion of motion in the body began in Chapter
2 and continued in Chapter 5. Chapter 6 now deepens
the exploration of motion by examining the structural
and functional characteristics of joints of the body. Specifically, shock absorption, weight bearing, and the
concept of mobility versus stability are addressed. This
chapter then continues by laying out the classification
system for all joints of the body. The three major structural categories of joints (fibrous, cartilaginous, and
synovial) are each examined. A special emphasis is
placed on synovial joints; their four major categories
(uniaxial, biaxial, triaxial, and nonaxial) are discussed in
detail. The chapter concludes with a look at the role of
articular discs and menisci within joints.
