         <description><![CDATA[Joints can be classified by both their movement (functional) and their structure (how bones connect). Functional: synarthroses (immovable), amphiarthroses (slightly movable), diarthroses (freely movable). Structural: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints.]]></description>
