Question 13 • 2026-2027 EDGE Human Anatomy and Physiology A

Which of these describes an amphiarthrosis joint?

Answer
A
A joint in the elbow that permits movement in one plane.
B
A joint in the ankle that allows rotational movement.
C
A joint at the base of the skull that permits flexion and extension of the neck.
D
A joint in the spine that is slightly movable and separated by cartilage.

Explanation

An amphiarthrosis is a slightly movable joint. The joints between vertebrae are connected by cartilage and allow limited movement, so the spinal joint described in choice D fits. The elbow joint in A is freely movable, and the other choices describe joints by their specific movements rather than a slightly movable cartilaginous connection.
