https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartic%20graph
In the mathematical field of graph theory, a quartic graph is a graph where all vertices have degree 4. In other words, a quartic graph is a 4-regular graph. Examples Several well-known graphs are quartic. They include: The complete graph K5, a quartic graph with 5 vertices, the smallest possible quartic graph. The C...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphiarthrosis
Amphiarthrosis is a type of continuous, slightly movable joint. Most amphiarthroses are held together by cartilage, as a result of which limited movements between the bones is made possible. An example is the joints of the vertebral column only allow for small movements between adjacent vertebrae, but when added togeth...
