Answer 2

Slightly movable joints are also known as amphiarthrosis.

Amphiarthrosis is a joint that has fibrocartilage acting as the connecting tissue between the bones.

A common example of fibrocartilage joint is the rib joints, which are slightly moveable.

Fibrocartilage is also otherwise known as hyaline cartilage.

Another example of joints with hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage is the joint where the vertebrae is connected to the intervertebral disks.
