Diarthrotic joints have free movement e.g. synovial joints of knee, elbow, shoulder
synarthrotic = no movement eg skull plates (yes they are a type of joint strangely enough)
amphiarthrotic = some movement eg intervertebral discs

Fibrous joints.
How many major joints in the human body?
There are three types of joints in the human body, synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic. The diarthrotic joints are also called synovial, or freely moving, joints. They are subdivided into, moaxial, biaxial, and triaxial. The six types include; ball-and-socket, pivot, gliding, ellipsoidal, saddle, and hinge.
What are the joints of the axial skeleton?
They are as follows in descending order:atlantooccipital - gliding (diarthrotic)atlantoaxial - pivot (diarthrotic)intervertebral - gliding (amphiarthrotic)costovertebral - gliding (diarthrotic)sternoclavicular - gliding (diarthrotic)sternocostal - gliding (diarthrotic)sacroiliac - gliding (diarthrotic)pubic symphysis - gliding (amphiarthrotic)

List diarthrotic joints in human body?
glenohumeral joint and coxal joint are both ball-and-socket joints which are diarthrotic. intercarpal and intertarsal joints as well as the elbow joint and atlantoaxial joint are also diarthrotic
What joints have full movement?
The joints in the body that have the most movement are called synovial joints, or freely moving joints. Technically they are classified as diarthrotic joints. The difference between synovial joints and the other types of joints is that they contain a synovial sheath that supplies them with synovium, a lubricating fluid. Of the six different types of synovial joints the ball-and-socket joints have the greatest amount of movement. The four ball-and-socket joints in the human body are the ileofemoral joints, hip joints, and the glenohumeral joints, the shoulders.
What kinds of joints do not allow movement?
Joints come in three different varieties. The least movable are the synarthrotic. The example of these are the suture joints in the cranium. They are not fused together, but rather, separated by a very thin cartilage. The next, more movable joints are the amphiarthrotic joints. These are found between the vertebrae of the spine. The most movable are the diarthrotic joints, also called freely moving, or synovial joints. There are six types; ball-and-socket, hinge, pivot, gliding, saddle, and ellipsoidal.
What Two ways that joints are classified?
There are several ways in which joints are classified. The main classifications are in regard to how much they move. The classical terms are Synarthrotic, Amphiarthrotic, and Diarthrotic, where the Diarthrotic are the most movable. The diarthrotic joints are also called freely moving, or synovial joints. These can be classified by how they move. There are monoaxial joints, which move in one plane, or around a central axis. Then there are biaxial joints that move in two planes of movement. And, finally, there are the multiaxial (sometimes called triaxial) joints that move in more than two planes. The monoaxial joints can be subdivided into hinge and pivot joints. The biaxial joints can be subdivided into ellipsoidal and saddle. And, the multiaxial joints can be subdivided into gliding and ball-and-socket joints.
What are the categories of joints based on their ability to move?
Synarthrotic or immovable, amphiarthrotic or slightly movable, and diarthrotic or freely movable.
How do the different kinds of joints help with movement?
There are three different categories of joints. They are: synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic.The synarthrotic joints are mostly immovable and contain cartilage between the bones. An example of these are the suture joints between the cranial bones. Amphiarthrotic joints are a bit more movable and are made of reticular fibers such as those found in the intervertebral discs. The diarthrotic joints are also called synovial joints, or freely moving joints, and comprise the largest group of joints in the human body. These joints are responsible for the overall movement of the body, like the arms and the legs.
What is the knee joint?
The knee joint consists of the tibiofemoral joint and the patellofemoral joint. It is a combination of hinge and gliding joints, respectively. It is also in a class called freely movable joints, which are also called synovial, or diarthrotic joints.

What would a synovial membrane most likely be found in?
A synovial membrane is most likely to be found in the joint cavity.
