[[File:Structural Classification of Joints.jpg|thumb|300x300px|Types of joints based upon their structure (L to R): cartilaginous joint, fibrous joint, and synovial joint.]]
Structural classification names and divides joints according to the type of binding tissue that connects the bones to each other.<ref name="Whiting2006p40"/> There are four structural classifications of joints:<ref name="umich2010ClByTiss">{{cite web |url=http://anatomy.med.umich.edu/modules/joints_module/joints_03.html

* [[fibrous joint]] – joined by dense regular connective tissue that is rich in collagen fibers<ref name="anatomical">Principles of Anatomy & Physiology, 12th Edition, Tortora & Derrickson, Pub: Wiley & Sons</ref>
* [[cartilaginous joint]] – joined by [[cartilage]]. There are two types: [[Cartilaginous joint#Primary cartilaginous joints|primary cartilaginous joints]] composed of [[hyaline cartilage]], and [[Cartilaginous joint#Secondary cartilaginous joints|secondary cartilaginous joints]] composed of hyaline cartilage covering the articular surfaces of the involved bones with [[fibrocartilage]] connecting them.
* [[synovial joint]] – not directly joined – the bones have a synovial cavity and are united by the dense irregular connective tissue that forms the articular capsule that is normally associated with accessory ligaments.<ref name="anatomical"/>
* [[facet joint]] – joint between two articular [[process (anatomy)|processes]] between two vertebrae.<ref name="Medilexicon">{{cite web | url=http://www.medilexicon.com/medicaldictionary.php?t=31339 | publisher=Medilexicon – Medical Dictionary | title=Articular Facet | access-date=December 19, 2013 | archive-date=August 6, 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806005701/http://www.medilexicon.com/medicaldictionary.php?t=31339 | url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.ontobee.org/browser/index.php?keywords=Articular+facet&Submit2=Search+terms&o=FMA | title=Foundational Model of Anatomy | access-date=December 19, 2013 | url-status=dead | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131219182622/http://www.ontobee.org/browser/index.php?keywords=Articular+facet&Submit2=Search+terms&o=FMA | archive-date=December 19, 2013 }}</ref>
