Question 11 • GA-Essentials of Healthcare

Which articulations allow for greatest range of motion?

Answer
A
synovial joints because they allow for the greatest flexion, extension, and rotation
B
cartilaginous joints because they cushion and protect the joints from injury
C
muscular joints because they have the muscles to provide the motion
D
fibrous joints because they contain tendons and ligaments for flexibility

Explanation

Synovial joints have a fluid-filled joint cavity and movable surfaces, allowing a wide range of movement, including flexion, extension, and rotation. Cartilaginous and fibrous joints permit little or no movement, and “muscular joints” is not a standard type of articulation. Therefore, synovial joints allow the greatest range of motion.
