Question
what is the range of motion permitted by a synarthrosis joint?answers: a - ea pronation and supinationb slightly movablec flexion and extensiond immobilitye freely movable
Synarthrosis joints are fibrous joints that allow little to no movement. They are designed for stability rather than motion. For example, the sutures between the bones of the skull are synarthrosis joints. Options A (pronation and supination) are movements related to certain synovial joints (like the radioulnar joint). Option B (slightly movable) describes amphiarthrosis joints (e.g., intervertebral discs). Option C (flexion and extension) are common in synovial joints (like the elbow). Option E (freely movable) refers to diarthrosis (synovial) joints. So, the correct answer is D as synarthrosis joints are immobile.
