Which of the following joint categories terms describes a slightly movable joint?
-
Fibrous.
-
Cartilaginous.
-
Synovial.
-
Articular Cartilage.
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
Cartilaginous joints are a type of joint where bones are connected by cartilage. These joints allow for slight movement and provide stability. Examples of cartilaginous joints include the joints between the vertebrae in the spine and the pubic symphysis in the pelvis. Fibrous joints do not allow for any movement, synovial joints are freely movable, and articular cartilage refers to the smooth, protective covering on the ends of bones in synovial joints. Therefore, the correct answer is cartilaginous as it describes a slightly movable joint.
