What is the primary function of cartilaginous joints?

1. To enable high flexibility and motion

2. To connect muscles to bones

3. To allow a little or no movement

4. To provide electrical insulation between bones

The correct answer is: To allow a little or no movement

Cartilaginous joints are joints that are connected by cartilage, as opposed to ligaments or synovial fluid. The primary function of these joints is to provide a little or no movement, as the cartilage helps to absorb shock and prevent bone damage. Option A is incorrect because cartilaginous joints do not have a high degree of flexibility as they are connected by cartilage, which is not as flexible as ligaments. Option B is incorrect because the function of ligaments is to connect muscles to bones, not cartilaginous joints. Option D is incorrect because cartilaginous joints do not provide electrical insulation between bones.
