Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sutures are fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull and are immovable. They allow for the skull to protect the brain while also provide a strong structure for facial features. Fontanels are fibrous membrane-covered openings between the bones of a baby's skull that allow flexibility during birth, but they eventually fuse into sutures. Sinuses are air-filled spaces in the bones of the face. Condyles are rounded processes on the ends of bones that articulate with other bones to form joints.
