Match the type of fibrous joint with its characteristics: No joint cavity | Bones connected by fibrous tissue Sutures | Movement depends on fiber length Gomphoses | Continuous fibrous tissue Syndesmoses | Peg-in-socket structure
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to match types of fibrous joints with their corresponding characteristics. It provides different characteristics of fibrous joints and asks the user to identify which type corresponds to each characteristic. The types of joints included are sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses, and the characteristics describe aspects like the presence of a joint cavity and the structure of the connection between bones.
Answer
Sutures: No joint cavity; Syndesmoses: Movement on fiber length; Gomphoses: Peg-in-socket.
Sutures: No joint cavity, bones connected by fibrous tissue; Syndesmoses: Movement depends on fiber length, continuous fibrous tissue; Gomphoses: Peg-in-socket structure.
Answer for screen readers
Sutures: No joint cavity, bones connected by fibrous tissue; Syndesmoses: Movement depends on fiber length, continuous fibrous tissue; Gomphoses: Peg-in-socket structure.
More Information
Fibrous joints are a type of joint that are connected by dense connective tissue, generally immovable. Sutures are found in the skull, gomphoses connect teeth to sockets, and syndesmoses occur between long bones.
Tips
A common mistake is misidentifying gomphoses due to its unique peg-in-socket structure, which is specific to teeth.
