These are slightly movable joints and found in the axial skeleton (skull and trunk).


These joints are not only found in the axial skeleton, as the Middle Radioulnar joint located in the forearm between the ulna and radius is classified as an amphiarthrotic functioning joint. and is located on the appendicular skeleton.

Arthrosis is the same thing as osteoarthritis. This is a degenerative joint disease that is where the cartilage in the joints break down. This is caused by injury, age, and long term wear and tear of the joints. It normally affects the knees, spine, and hip areas.
