Question

Articulations permitting only slight degrees of movement are ________.

Answer 1

Amphiarthrosis is the correct answer.

Amphiarthrosis is a type of articulation located between bony surfaces in which bones are connected to elastic cartilage or ligaments allowing only limited degrees of motion. There are two other types of articulations, such as synarthrosis and diarthrosis (or synovial joint). Differently from amphiarthrosis, synarthrosis do NOT allow any kind of movement and diarthrosis allows free movement.
