Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fibrous connective tissue is found in fibrous joints, also known as synarthroses, which are immovable joints where the bones are held together by dense regular connective tissue. Cartilaginous joints, also known as amphiarthroses, have cartilage holding the bones together, and synovial joints, also known as diarthroses, have a synovial membrane surrounding the joint cavity with synovial fluid lubricating and cushioning the bones. Therefore, fibrous connective tissue only holds the articular surfaces of bones together in fibrous joints.
