Study Notes
Fibrous Joints
- Fibrous joints connect bones with fibrous connective tissue
- Lack a joint cavity
- Immovable or slightly movable
- Three types: sutures, syndesmoses, gomphoses
Sutures
- Located in the skull, between skull bones
- Continuous fibrous tissue
- Ossify and fuse with age, becoming immobile
- Examples include coronal suture
Syndesmoses
- Located between long bones (e.g., tibia-fibula)
- Connected by ligaments
- Movement depends on the length of the ligament
- Examples include interosseous membrane (radius-ulna)
Gomphoses
- Located in tooth sockets
- Peg-in-socket structure
- Connected by periodontal ligament
- Examples include teeth in alveolar sockets
