Question

Define immovable joint, and give an example of bones that are connected by this type of joint

Answer 1

There are three types of fibrous joints: (1) Sutures are nonmoving joints that connect bones of the skull. These joints have serrated edges that lock together with fibers of connective tissue. (2) The fibrous articulations between the teeth and the mandible or maxilla are called gomphoses and are also immovable.
