Question

What are fixed joints? Give an example​

Answer 1

Answer:

A joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement. Generally speaking, the greater the range of movement, the higher the risk of injury because the strength of the joint is reduced. The six types of freely movable joint include ball and socket, saddle, hinge, condyloid, pivot and gliding.

Answer 2

Answer:

Fixed joints are fibrous joints that do not move. They are usually formed from collagen. Many of these joints are found in the cranium.

Fixed joints permit stability to certain areas of the body, although they do not move. Examples of fixed joints include the joints between the bones in the skull and the joint where the radius and ulna bones meet in the lower arm.
