Wrist joint
Dorsiflexion
Fluid-filled pockets
Diarthrosis
Knee
Intervertebral discs
Supination
Extension
Synarthrosis
Introduction:
The junctions at which two or more bones joins is known as joints. It is also termed as articulations. The function, as well as, the range of motion is determined by the anatomy of the particular joint.
Explanation of Solution
The joints, on the basis of their range of motion, are classified into three groups. The immovable joints are known as synarthrosis. The joints, which are slightly movable, are called amphiarthrosis. The joints that can move freely are termed as diarthrosis.
Therefore, it can be concluded that the term no movement can be correctly matched with option (i) synarthrosis.
