What's the difference between diarthrosis and synarthrosis?

Diarthrosis


Definition:

  • (n.) A form of articulation which admits of considerable motion; a complete joint; abarticulation. See Articulation.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The proximal tibio-fibular joint consists of a joint cavity surrounded by a joint capsule (diarthrosis) forming a rather rigid joint.
  • (2) The first part entire paper presents the most simple module of a diarthrosis, the kinematically open dimeric link chain.
  • (3) These findings are interpreted as different developmental stages of a diarthrosis generally formed between the corpus and the cornu majus.
  • (4) The formation of a joint cleft between the body and the greater horn of the hyoid bone seems to be predominant in the lateral and caudal parts of that diarthrosis.
  • (5) The kinematicaly open, dimeric link chain represents the simpliest module of a diarthrosis.
  • (6) The tibiofibular joint appears to be rather a syndesmosis than a diarthrosis.

Synarthrosis


Definition:

  • (n.) Immovable articulation by close union, as in sutures. It sometimes includes symphysial articulations also. See the Note under Articulation, n., 1.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In the following study we will present a model that demonstrates the effects of normal, shearing, and general forces applied to the synarthrosis of the "intervertebral disk".
  • (2) The simpliest synarthrosis is represented by a (visco-)elastic disk that connects two rigid bodies.
  • (3) Therefore, the interface between the body structure and the elastic synarthrosis can be considered as a surface of infinite static (adhesive) friction, while the contacting surfaces in a diathrosis possess vanishing static friction.
  • (4) The unusual feature is the early synarthrosis, possibly caused by multiple factors.
  • (5) According to manifestation degree of these layers, development of the internal layer and size of the cavity three main variants of the ID structure are nominated: intervertebral synarthrosis, intervertebral hemiarthrosis and intervertebral "diathrosis" (real articulations have not been revealed between the vertebral bodies).
  • (6) The theory--presented in part I--shall be examined by the synarthrosis (Gomphosis; Articulatio dentoalaveolaris) "Periodontium" and not by the intervertebral disk because the required experimental equipment can probably also be used in vivo.
