ARTICULATION, or JOINTING, is the joining of bones together; and is of two kinds, viz. articulation and connection. ARTICULATION is of two kinds, 1. Diarthrosis, which is capable of motion. 2. Synarthrosis, which is not capable of motion. There is a species composed of these two, which some call amphiarthrosis. CONNECTION, or symphysis, is of three kinds: 1. By ligament, called synureosis, or synodesmosis. 2. By cartilages, called synchondrosis. 3. By muscles passing from one bone to another, called syssarcosis.
