What joint permits slight movement?

Answer 1

Sutures are immovable joints that bind the bones of the skull -- they allow no movement. Gomphosis are the joints that attach a tooth to the socket -- they also allow no movement. The syndesmosis is a fibrous joint where two bones are bound by larger collagenous fibers than a suture or gomphoses -- this type of joint offers a little more mobility. For example, one that offers very little movement is the joint that binds the distal ends of the tibia and fibula together. Another sydesmosis joint is where the ulna and radius are joined, which allows for pronation and supination of the forearm.

Answer 2

A gliding joint permits slight movement between bones. These joints allow bones to glide past each other in various directions. Examples include the joints between the carpal bones in the wrist and the tarsal bones in the ankle.
