Freely movable joints are (a) synarthroses, (b) diarthroses, (c) amphiarthroses.
In general, the most important factor(s) determining the stability of synovial joints is (a) interlocking shapes of the articular surfaces; (b) reinforcing ligaments; (c) ligaments and muscle tone; (d) synovial fluid, which acts like glue; (e) the body’s wrapping of skin, which holds the limbs together.
The factors that influence the stability of a synovial joint include
(a) Shape of articular surfaces
(b) Presence of strong reinforcing ligaments
(c) Tone of surrounding muscles
(d) All of these
