Fibrous, Cartilage, And Synovial Joints

Fibrous, Cartilage, And Synovial Joints

Fibrous Joints Sutures:

• These joints are found in the skull and are immovable (i.e. synarthrosis).
• The articulating bones are connected by sutural ligaments or thin membranes of fibrous tissue.

Fibrous Joints Syndesmosis:

• The articulating bones are connected to each other by interosseous ligaments
• And the bones involved lie at some distance apart, for example, the inferior (distal) tibiofibular joint.
• A slight movement is permitted at these joints; hence, functionally it is classified as amphiarthrosis.

Fibrous Joints Gomphosis/peg and socket joint (dentoalveolar joint):

• Here, the cone-shaped root of the tooth fits into the alveolar socket of the jaw.
• The tooth is attached to the alveolar socket by the fibrous tissue (periodontal ligaments).

This type of joint is immovable, hence functionally classified as synarthrosis.
