Detailed explanation-1: -Synovial joints are freely movable and allow for motion at the location where bones meet. They provide a wide range of motion and flexibility. Other joints provide more stability and less flexibility. Bones at cartilaginous joints connected by cartilage and are slightly movable.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ball-and-socket joints possess a rounded, ball-like end of one bone fitting into a cuplike socket of another bone. This organization allows the greatest range of motion, as all movement types are possible in all directions. Examples of ball-and-socket joints are the shoulder and hip joints ([link]).
Detailed explanation-3: -The six types of freely movable joint include ball and socket, saddle, hinge, condyloid, pivot and gliding.
Detailed explanation-4: -Functionally the three types of joints are synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slightly moveable), and diarthrosis (freely moveable).
Detailed explanation-5: -Differentiate between movable and immovable joints. * Movable joints allow greater freedom of movement. * Immovable joints don’t allow any kind of movement of the bones they connect.
