An amphiarthrosis is a slightly moveable joint, such as the pubic symphysis or an intervertebral cartilaginous joint. A diarthrosis is a freely moveable joint.

Detailed explanation-2: -Examples of joints allowing slight movement (called amphiarthroses) include the distal joint between the tibia and the fibula and the pubic symphisis of the pelvic girdle.

Detailed explanation-3: -Diarthrosis joints are the freely movable synovial joints. Synovial joints can also be classified as nonaxial, monoaxial, biaxial, and multiaxial. The various movements permitted by synovial joints are abduction, adduction, extension, flexion, and rotation.
