Question

Which articulations allow for greatest range of motion?
synovial joints because they allow for the greatest flexion, extension, and rotation
cartilaginous joints because they cushion and protect the joints from injury
muscular joints because they have the muscles to provide the motion
fibrous joints because they contain tendons and ligaments for flexibility

Answer 1

Synovial joints — they have a joint cavity with synovial fluid, articular cartilage and a capsule, allowing the greatest freedom of movement (e.g., ball-and-socket shoulder and hip joints).
