Amphiarthrosis
Amphiarthrosis
A joint permitting limited movement; bones are farther apart compared to synarthrosis.
Diarthroses
Diarthroses
Joints characterized by the absence of direct bone-to-bone contact.
Synarthrosis
Synarthrosis
A joint where bony edges are close together and may interlock, allowing very little or no movement.
