what are the functional classifications of articulations?

amphiarthroses = slightly movable
diarthroses (synovial)= freely movable
what does it mean if an articulation is described as a synarthroses?
it's immovable (like in the skull)
what does amphiarthroses mean?
it's a functional classification of an articulation that is slightly movable, such as in the fingers
what does diarthroses mean? and what's another name for it?
synovial's another name, and it is a functional classification of articulations that means freely movable, such as in the knee

what does it mean to say that a joint is fibrous?
a fibrous articulation is a structural classification and means that the joint is basically immovable, like synarthroses and like that found in the skull
what does it mean to say that a joint is a cartilaginous articulation?
this is a structural classification and refers to a slightly movable joint, like the functional classification of amphiarthroses
what does it mean to say that a joint is synovial?
synovial is a term that can be used both as a structural and a functional classification for articulations
