QUESTION:
Compare the amount of movement possible in syn-arthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic joints. Relate these terms to the structural classification of joints;that is, to fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Syn-arthrotic joints, also known as immovable joints, allow minimal movement between the articulating bones. These joints are found in the structural classification of fibrous joints, where the articulating bones are connected by dense fibrous connective tissue. Examples of synarthrosis joints include the sutures in the skull.
