A diarthrodial joint, commonly known as a synovial joint, is a specific type of joint found in the human body. Synovial joints allow for a wide range of movement and are characterized by the presence of synovial fluid that lubricates the joint. Although "diarthrodial joint" is the technical term, it can sometimes be useful to have alternative synonyms to describe this joint type. Some possible synonyms include movable joint, freely movable joint, or articulating joint. These terms all convey the same meaning as diarthrodial joint, highlighting its ability to enable extensive mobility and flexibility between skeletal components.
