Fixed Joint is like your Cranium (head) as it doesnt move.
Slightly Moveable is like your Spine (Cartliginous) as it moves slightly
Synovial (Freely Moveable) Joints are all your other joints like your shoulder/knee/elbow/hip.... They consist of 4 Main Types Ball & Socket/ Hinge/ Pivot and Gliding

∙ 14y agofixed joints cannot move. slightly movable ones can move a little bit and synovial joints are freely movable.

The joints between the vertebrae of the backbones are best described as?
They are slightly moveable as they are sponge-like
What are the 3 joints found in the body?
FIBROUS JOINTS(SYNARTHROSES); CARTILAGINOUS JOINTS (AMPHIARTHROSES) and SYNOVIAL JOINTS (DIARTHROSES)RegardsTime is imaginary
What are the types of movement for the ball and socket?
Synovial joints are the most common and most moveable type of joints in the human body. As with most other joints, synovial joints can move at the point of contact of the articulating bones. The main structural differences between synovial and fibrous joints is the existence of a capsule surrounding the articulating surfaces of a synovial joint and the presence of lubricating synovial fluid within that capsule
What is the role of synovial liquid in your joints?
Synovial fluid is a thick, stringy fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg-like consistency (synovial comes from Latin for "egg"), synovial fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage and other tissues in joints to lubricate and cushion them during movement.
What is the role of synovial fluid in sports movements?
Synovial fluid in the synovial sacs (in bone joints) saves the participating bones in the joints from hurt, injury by acting like pad (buffer) between the articulating bones

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)
What is diarthrotic joints?

What is the difference between a bursa and the joint capsule?
I this its the following: Bursae - located between skin and bones, tendons and bones, muscles and bones, or ligaments and bones - Main function: reduce friction between joints Joint Capsule - surrounds a synovial joint and encloses the synovial cavity - Main function: unite the articulating bones and reduce friction via production of synovial fluid
We all know how to tell the difference between Dylan and Cole but how do you tell the difference between Milly and Becky Rosso?
The difference between Camilla and Rebecca Rosso is that Rebecca's face is slightly wider and her voice is slightly higher.
What is the structure of the slightly moveable joint?
Slightly movable jointsSlightly moveable joint are joints which have only limited range of movement and this is due to either fibrous tissue or cartilage. You can find slightly moveable joints between the vertebrae in the spine.I don't any of this guys because I am trying to know my self so please whoever can improve my answer is going to have the best answer.
What is a lubricating fluid found between two bones?
Synovial fluid is the lubricant between the ends of bones.
What are the types of movement for the ball and socket?
Synovial joints are the most common and most moveable type of joints in the human body. As with most other joints, synovial joints can move at the point of contact of the articulating bones. The main structural differences between synovial and fibrous joints is the existence of a capsule surrounding the articulating surfaces of a synovial joint and the presence of lubricating synovial fluid within that capsule
Is suture a synovial joint?
No, sutures are where two bones more or less fuse together into one bone.
Is the function of the synovial membrane?
The synovial membrane is the inner membrane of tissue that lines a joint. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid which serves to lubricate the joint and reduce the friction between bones in joints.
