Accepted Answer

Diarthrotic joints are also known as synovial joints, and they make up the majority of joints in the body, including the knee, elbow, and shoulder. These joints allow for a wide range of motion and are surrounded by a joint capsule, which provides stability and contains synovial fluid to lubricate the joint.
