Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A symphysis is a joint united by dense fibrocartilaginous tissue, typically allowing only slight movement. Sutures are joints between flat bones that are united by a thin layer of dense fibrous tissue. Syndesmoses are joints in which bones are united by long strands of dense regular connective tissue, allowing more movement than a symphysis. Gomphoses are joints in which a cone-shaped peg fits into a socket, found only in teeth.
