______ 1. typically allow a slight degree of movement
______ 2. include joints between the vertebral bodies and the pubic symphysis
______ 3. essentially immovable joints
______ 4. sutures are the most remembered examples
______ 5. cartilage connects the bony portions
______ 6. have a fibrous articular capsule lined with a synovial membrane surrounding a joint cavity
______ 7. all are freely movable or diarthrotic
______ 8. bone regions are united by fibrous connective tissue

Explanation:

1. Cartilaginous joints permit slight movement.
2. Vertebral body joints and pubic symphysis are cartilaginous.
3. Fibrous joints are functionally immovable.
4. Sutures (skull joints) are fibrous.
5. Cartilaginous joints use cartilage to link bones.
6. Synovial joints have a synovial membrane-lined capsule and cavity.
7. Synovial joints are freely movable (diarthrotic).
8. Fibrous joints are held together by fibrous connective tissue.
9. Hip, knee, elbow are classic synovial joints.
