Example of fixed joint other than skull bone and teeth and socket
Answers
Answer:
A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact.
Joints are classified based on structural and functional properties.
Fibrous joints, such as sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses, have no joint cavity.
Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue consisting mainly of collagen.
Fibrous joints are called “fixed” or “immovable” joints because they do not move.

Key Terms
syndesmoses: Slightly movable articulations where the contiguous bony surfaces are united by an interosseous ligament, as in the inferior tibiofibular articulation.
suture: In anatomy, a suture is a fairly rigid joint between two or more hard elements such as the bony plates of the skull.
gomphoses: A joint that binds the teeth to bony sockets (dental alveoli) in the maxillary bone and mandible.
