Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amphiarthroses are joints that permit only slight degrees of movement, such as the pubic symphysis or the intervertebral joints. Synarthroses are joints that do not permit any movement at all, such as the sutures between cranial bones. Diarthroses are joints that permit a wide range of movements and are also called synovial joints. Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a synovial fluid-filled cavity and various accessory structures, such as ligaments and bursae, that facilitate movement.
