Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fibrous joints are joints where the bones are held together by dense fibrous connective tissue. There are three types of fibrous joints: sutures, which are found only in the skull and have interlocking edges that fit tightly together; syndesmoses, which are slightly movable and found between long bones like the radius and ulna in the forearm; and gomphoses, which are the immovable joints that anchor the teeth to the jawbone. All three types of fibrous joints are classified as such because they lack a joint cavity and allow little to no movement between the bones they connect.
