∙ 9y agoYou have fibrous and cartilaginous types of joints that probably come under this category. Fibrous type of joints has got three categories. Suture, gomphosis and syndesmosis. There is almost no movement between your skull bones (Suture type). The same is true for joint between your teeth and teeth bearing bones (Gomphosis type). The same is true for the joint between lower end of tibia and fibula (Syndesmosis type). You have two types of joints that fall under the cartilaginous category. Primary and secondary cartilaginous joints. You have primary cartilaginous joint between the diaphysis and epiphysis of the long bone. This joint has got the least possible mobility of all joints, probably. The secondary cartilaginous joints are at pubic symphysis and inter vertebral disc. They have limited mobility. Movable versus immovable is a logical classification. But it is not a practical classification in 'Biology". The third class with less mobility or slight mobility should be there.
