Question

​Most joints of the upper and lower limbs are ____.
A) ​amphiarthroses
B) ​sutures
C) ​diarthroses
D) ​synarthroses

Accepted Answer

Most joints of the upper and lower limbs are classified as diarthroses, which are also known as synovial joints. These joints allow for a wide range of movements and are lubricated by synovial fluid. Amphiarthroses are slightly moveable joints, such as those found between the vertebrae, while sutures are immovable joints found in the skull. Synarthroses are also immovable joints, but are found in other parts of the body, such as teeth and their sockets.
