Do synovial joints permit little movement of the articulating bones?
No, synovial joints joints are freely movable joints. There are six types of synovial joints: gliding (arthrodial), hinge (ginglymus), pivot (trochoid), ellipsoid, saddle, and ball and socket.
Are all synovial joints freely movable?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: There are three types of joints: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. Fibrous joints (seen in the skull's sutures) are always synarthrotic (immovable). Cartilaginous joints are both synarthrotic (seen in between the sternum and the first ribs) and amphiarthrotic (slightly movable). The last type of joint, synovial, comes in a variety of styles (saddle, ball-in-socket, ect.) and is always diarthrotic (moveable)

Classified by type of cartilage: Fibrous joints-immovable such as sutures in the skull. Cartilaginous- partially movable such as vertebrae. Synovial- Freely movable such as knee and finger joints. Classified by functional use: synarthrosis - permits little or no mobility (mostly fibrous joints as in the skull). amphiarthrosis - permits slight mobility (mostly cartilaginous joints as with vertebrae) diarthrosis - freely movable (synovial joints used in body movement)
