the joint formed by the bodies of two adjacent vertebrae separated by an intervertebral disc is a symphysis joint. Each intervertebral disc is composed of a band of fibrocartilage (annulus fibrosus) that surrounds a gelatinous core (nucleus pulposus). the disc absorbs shocks and helps equalize pressure between the vertebrae when the body movies. Each disc is slightly flexible, so the combined movement of many of the joints in the vertebral column allows the back to bend forward or the the side or to twist. they are amphiarthrotic joints because these joints allow slight movement.

What are the joints between the vertebrae of the backbone?
what type of joint is between bodies of vertebrae ? cartilaginous joint
What structure allows the body to bend at places such as the knees spine elbows and neck?
"joints"
What kind of joint is found between each vertebrae?
Vertebrae are gliding joints and also considered cartilaginous joints. However, the first two vertebra are pivot joints. They allow you to nod your head and look to each side.
What are amphiarthrotic and synarthrotic examples of?
These are types of functions of the joints. The amphiathrotic joint is slightly moveable, the joints between the vertebra for example. The synathrotic joint is immovable, the sutures of the skull for example.
What is the tissue that provides smooth surface in joints?
Joints may be synovial (with a cavity) or fibrous. Synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. Fibrous joints lack this. Fibrous joints are found in between the vertebrae. Cartilage in is both joints. This can be hylaine or fibrocartilage. Both regenerate. The synovial fluid is rather slippery and allows easy movement in those joints. If this joint is suddenly and rapidly pulled, the fluid doesn't fill quickly and a "snapping" sound is heard.
Is your vertebrae movable?
Almost all the joints between vertebrae are movable. The joints between the cervical vertebrae and lumber vertebrae have fairly good movement. Between thoracic vertebrae only you have less movement. But then they do move on each other.
What are the joints between the vertebrae of the backbone?
what type of joint is between bodies of vertebrae ? cartilaginous joint
What is the medical term meaning the joints between adjacent vertebrae?
The facet joints are the joints between adjacent vertebrae.
What type of joint are the joints between vertebrae?
Gliding joints are found between vertebrae except for the first two which have a pivoit joint.
What form of rheumatoid arthritis primarily causes inflammation of the joints between the vertebrae?
Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the joints between the vertebrae.
Where are Semi-movable joints found?
between the vertebrae
What structure allows the body to bend at places such as the knees spine elbows and neck?
"joints"
What types of joints are between the bodies of the vertebrae of the backbone?
secondary cartilaginous joint
What type of movement does the joint planar allows?
A Planar joint is also known as a gliding joint, and allows sliding or back and forth motions as well as twisting movements.Examples of Planar joints are in the wrists and ankles, and the joints between the vertebrae in the spine.
How many joints a human body has?

Slightly movable joints?
allow only slight movement.The joints present between the vertebrae of the backbone and the joints between the ribs and the breastbone are the examples of slightly movable joints.
The joints between the vertebrae of the backbones are best described as?
They are slightly moveable as they are sponge-like
