Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Amphiarthroses. Slightly movable joints are called amphiarthroses. The singular form is amphiarthrosis. In this type of joint, the bones are connected by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Cartilaginous Joints These joints generally allow more movement than fibrous joints but less movement than synovial joints. The secondary cartilaginous joint, also known as symphysis, may involve either hyaline or fibrocartilage. These joints are slightly mobile (amphiarthroses).

Detailed explanation-3: -Syndesmoses are slightly movable joints (amphiarthroses). In syndesmosis joints, the two bones are held together by an interosseous membrane. For example, the tibia connects to the fibula, forming the middle tibiofibular joint, and the ulna attaches to the radius, forming the middle radio-ulnar joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -These cartilaginous joints are composed entirely of hyaline cartilage and are known as synchondroses.
