Final answer:
The only type of articulation with a joint cavity among the options provided is the intercarpal joint, which is a type of synovial joint, correctly identified as diarthrosis.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is asking to identify the type of articulation that has a joint cavity. Based on the choices and information provided, the only type of articulation that includes a joint cavity is a synovial joint. These joints allow for free movement, which is known as diarthrosis. For the options given:
- A) A symphysis is a type of cartilaginous joint where the bones are united by fibrocartilage and does not have a joint cavity.
- B) An amphiarthrosis allows for slight movement and is also a type of cartilaginous joint but does not have a joint cavity.
- C) A gomphosis is a type of fibrous joint such as the connection between a tooth and its socket and also lacks a joint cavity.
- D) The intercarpal joint is a type of synovial joint and thus has a joint cavity.
Therefore, the correct answer is D) intercarpal joint.
