An Example of a Diarthrotic Synchondrosis

Question

An example of a diarthrotic synchondrosis
A) is the epiphyseal plate.
B) is the intertarsal joint.
C) is the knee.
D) does not exist.

Accepted Answer

Diarthrotic synchondrosis does not exist because diarthrosis refers to freely movable joints, typically with a synovial cavity, such as the knee or intertarsal joints, while synchondrosis refers to a type of cartilaginous joint where the bones are joined by hyaline cartilage, such as the epiphyseal plate, which is not freely movable.
