Answers
Amphiarthroses allow only slight movement
What is a Amphiarthrotic joint?
An example is the manubriosternal joint or the joints between the skull bones surrounding the brain. An amphiarthrosis is a slightly moveable joint, such as the pubic symphysis or an intervertebral cartilaginous joint. A diarthrosis is a freely moveable joint.
A slightly moveable amphiarthrosis provides for small movements while maintaining stability between adjacent bones as in the vertebral column. The freedom of movement provided by a diarthrosis can allow for large movements, such as is seen with most joints of the limbs.
example of an amphiarthrosis is the pubic symphysis of the pelvis. This is a cartilaginous joint in which the pubic regions of the right and left hip bones are strongly anchored to each other by fibrocartilage. This joint normally has very little mobility. The strength of the pubic symphysis is important in conferring weight-bearing stability to the pelvis.
