ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Immovable – the two or more bones are in close contact, but no movement can occur – for example, the bones of the skull. The joints of the skull are called sutures.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synarthroses are immovable joints. The singular form is synarthrosis. In these joints, the bones come in very close contact and are separated only by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue. The sutures in the skull are examples of immovable joints.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Fibrous joint’

Detailed explanation-4: -Functionally the three types of joints are synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slightly moveable), and diarthrosis (freely moveable). The two classification schemes correlate: synarthroses are fibrous, amphiarthroses are cartilaginous, and diarthroses are synovial.

Detailed explanation-5: -A joint which permits no kind of movement is called as an immovable joint or fixed joint. In such joints, bones have been fused together in such a way that they are fixed to that part. Such joints are found in the skull, upper jaw, rib cage, backbone, pelvic bone, etc.
