Which term refers to an immobile joint in the human body?
A
Syndesmosis
B
Synarthrosis
C
Diarthrosis
D
Amphiarthrosis
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the definition of each term provided in the options. For example, 'Synarthrosis' refers to an immobile joint, 'Diarthrosis' refers to a freely movable joint, 'Amphiarthrosis' refers to a slightly movable joint, and 'Syndesmosis' is a type of fibrous joint that allows limited movement.
Step 2: Focus on the key phrase in the question: 'immobile joint.' This indicates that the correct answer must describe a joint that does not allow movement.
Step 3: Compare the definitions of the terms with the requirement of the question. Eliminate options that describe joints with movement, such as 'Diarthrosis' and 'Amphiarthrosis.'
Step 4: Consider the term 'Syndesmosis,' which allows limited movement, and eliminate it as it does not fit the description of an immobile joint.
Step 5: Conclude that the term 'Synarthrosis' matches the description of an immobile joint, as it refers to joints that are completely immovable, such as sutures in the skull.
