A type of joint in the body where bones are connected by cartilage and have only slight or limited movement.
From Greek 'amphi-' (both) + 'arthron' (joint) + '-osis' (condition). Medical term from anatomy.
Your spine contains multiple amphiarthroses—each individual disc allows only a tiny bit of movement, but together they give your spine about 180 degrees of total flexibility!
