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.

What kinds of joints allow some movement?
back and forth side to sife
What joints allow limited movement?
Cartilaginous joints such as those in your spine allow very limited movement.
What does joints do?
Allow movement. Your elbows and knees are joints.
What kind of movement does synarthrotic joints allow?
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).
Which are the joints where the bones meet but they do not allow movement?
immovable joints
Which joint has the greatest mobility?
Probably the shoulder or glenohumeral joint.Synovial joints allow free movement while fibrous joints generally have no appreciable movement and cartilaginous joints allow limited movement.
Do all joints allow movement?
No, not all joints allow movement. There are three types of joints: synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slightly movable), and diarthrosis (freely movable). Synarthrosis joints, such as those in the skull, are immovable.
What kind of joint that provides limited movement?
a kinds of joints that provides limited movement
What types of joints allow body movement?
Synovial
What joint has the least range of motion?
The joints which allow the least amount of movement are Fibrous Joints - also known as immovable joints. These joints are held firmly together by strong connective tissue and allow no or very little movement. Examples are the joints between the bones in the skull and the teeth.
What are mobile joints?
Mobile joints are joints in the body that allow for movement and flexibility. These joints consist of bones that are connected by ligaments, cartilage, and synovial fluid, which enable smooth motion between the bones. Examples of mobile joints include the shoulder, knee, and hip joints.
Joints protect the bone and what else?
Joints are there to allow movement of the bodies skeleton framework.
