Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Immovable articulations are classified as synarthroses, meaning there is no movement allowed between the articulating bones. Syndesmosis, amphiarthrosis, and diarthrosis all involve some degree of movement between the articulating bones, and synovial joints are movable but have a cavity filled with synovial fluid. Thus, C is the best choice as it accurately describes the functional classification of immovable articulations.
