Joints are divided into two categories, one is structural and the other one in functional. Structural means how the bones connect each other and functional means the degree of movement between the two bones. Structural joints can be further classified into, primary cartilaginous joints which allows minimum to no movement between them and secondary cartilaginous joint which allows more movement.
