Amphiarthrotric joints are slightly movable joints, meaning they do move just not a lot. But they are definitely NOT immovable. They are found in the axial skeleton. For example the vertebrae consists of amphiarthrotic joints between the vertebra. Now these joints don't provide a bunch of movement, but all of the joints all the way down the whole vertebra together make up to a good amount of movement, enough that a person can touch their toes and bend over/down to get things.
Synarthrotic joints allow for minimal to no movement. They are immovable or allow very limited movement and provide stability and support to the body. Examples include the joints between the skull bones (sutures).
There are three types of joints in the human body, synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic. The diarthrotic joints are also called synovial, or freely moving, joints. They are subdivided into, moaxial, biaxial, and triaxial. The six types include; ball-and-socket, pivot, gliding, ellipsoidal, saddle, and hinge.
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: There are three types of joints: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. Fibrous joints (seen in the skull's sutures) are always synarthrotic (immovable). Cartilaginous joints are both synarthrotic (seen in between the sternum and the first ribs) and amphiarthrotic (slightly movable). The last type of joint, synovial, comes in a variety of styles (saddle, ball-in-socket, ect.) and is always diarthrotic (moveable)
The least movable joints are the skull sutures, which are located between the bones of the skull. These joints are fibrous and immovable, providing stability and protection for the brain.
Synarthrotic is a type of joint in the body. Is is the same as "Fibrous" this means little to no movement. The first synarthrotic joint to come to mind is the sagittal suture in the skull; it fuses the left and right sides together.
Cartilaginous Joints
There are three different categories of joints. They are: synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic.The synarthrotic joints are mostly immovable and contain cartilage between the bones. An example of these are the suture joints between the cranial bones. Amphiarthrotic joints are a bit more movable and are made of reticular fibers such as those found in the intervertebral discs. The diarthrotic joints are also called synovial joints, or freely moving joints, and comprise the largest group of joints in the human body. These joints are responsible for the overall movement of the body, like the arms and the legs.
Joints are classified into three main categories based on their ability to move: synarthrosis (immovable joints), amphiarthrosis (slightly movable joints), and diarthrosis (freely movable joints).
Synarthrotic joints allow for minimal to no movement. They are immovable or allow very limited movement and provide stability and support to the body. Examples include the joints between the skull bones (sutures).
Immovable.
Types of cartiliginous joints: Synchondrosis Symphysis Synchondrosis joint has bands of hyaline cartilage which unite bones and an epiphyseal plate (temporary). For example between manubrium and first rib (synarthrotic). Symphysis joint has a pad of fibrocartilage between bones. For example the pubis symphysis and the joint between bodies of vertebrae. (amphiarthrotic).
It depends on which type of joint it is associated with. Th three classifications of joints are; synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic. They are all separated by hyaline cartilage, from less than paper thick to almost an inch (25mm) in the knees. So the thickness has a natural purpose of protection, having a loss of the proper thickness leads to the condition known as osteoarthritis.

Joints come in three different varieties. The least movable are the synarthrotic. The example of these are the suture joints in the cranium. They are not fused together, but rather, separated by a very thin cartilage. The next, more movable joints are the amphiarthrotic joints. These are found between the vertebrae of the spine. The most movable are the diarthrotic joints, also called freely moving, or synovial joints. There are six types; ball-and-socket, hinge, pivot, gliding, saddle, and ellipsoidal.
