ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A suture is a type of fibrous joint that is only found in the skull (cranial suture). The bones are bound together by Sharpey’s fibres. A tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull. These joints are synarthroses.

Detailed explanation-2: -All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture (“to bind or sew”) strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face.

Detailed explanation-3: -The skull consists of fibrous joints that are made up of fibrous connective tissue. Suture is a special type of fibrous joint which is present only in the skull.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sutures are fibrous joints found only in the skull. Syndesmoses are joints in which the bones are connected by a band of connective tissue, allowing for more movement than in a suture.

Detailed explanation-5: -Sutures are immobile joints in the cranium. Gomphoses are the immobile joints between the teeth and their sockets in the mandible and maxillae. Syndesmoses are slightly movable joints (amphiarthroses).
