Question

functional classification – which type of joint allows only slight movement? * 1 point a) synarthrosis b) diarthrosis c) amphiarthrosis

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the functional classification of joints:

• Synarthrosis: Immovable joints (e.g., skull sutures).
• Diarthrosis: Freely movable joints (e.g., knee, shoulder).
• Amphiarthrosis: Joints with slight movement (e.g., pubic symphysis, intervertebral discs).

So the joint allowing only slight movement is Amphiarthrosis.

Answer:

c) Amphiarthrosis
