Amphiarthrosis
open-in-new
<p>Amphiarthrosis is a type of continuous, slightly movable <a href="/facts/Joint/D70qxsey">joint</a>. Most amphiarthroses are held together by cartilage, as a result of which limited movements between the bones is made possible. An example is the joints of the vertebral column only allow for small movements between adjacent vertebrae, but when added together, these movements provide the flexibility that allows the body to twist, or bend to the front, back, or side. </p>
