Which joints between the vertebrae are separated by cartilaginous disks?

Answer
A
saddle joints
B
diarthrosis joints
C
amphiarthrosis joints
D
ball and socket joints

Explanation

The joints between vertebral bodies are connected by intervertebral disks made of fibrocartilage. These joints allow only slight movement, so they are classified as amphiarthrosis joints. Saddle and ball-and-socket joints are freely movable synovial joints, and diarthrosis is the general category for freely movable joints.
