Many of the world's temperate rainforests of the world are a mix of both deciduous (broad-leafed) and coniferous (scaly or needle-leafed) trees. The dominance of conifers in our rainforest is one characteristic that distinguishes our temperate rainforests.
In human body, a joint is where two bones get together. Joints, also called articulations, are where two bones come together. Apart from the hyoid bone, all the bones in the neck, form a joint.Joints are often classified by the amount of motion they permit.Some of the joints are fixed, like those in the skull, permit for no movement.oints, also called articulations, are where two bones come together.

Cartiliginous Joints. Joints that unite bones with cartilage are called cartilaginous joints. There are two types of cartilaginous joints: (1) A synchrondosis is an immovable cartilaginous joint. One example is the joint between the first pair of ribs and the sternum.(2) A symphysis consists of a compressable fibrocartilaginous pad that connects two bones. This type of joint allows for some movement.2) The fibrous articulations between the teeth and the mandible or maxilla are called gomphoses and are also immovable. (3) A syndesmosis is a joint in which a ligament connects two bones, allowing for a little movement (amphiarthroses). The distal joint between the tibia and fibula is an example of a syndesmosis.
