Detailed explanation-1: -Fibrous joints are defined as the joints in which the bones are connected by fibrous tissue. They are called fixed or immovable joints as they do not allow any movement between the bones. They do not have a joint cavity, and the fibrous tissue which connects the bones is made up of collage fibres.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue consisting mainly of collagen. These joints are also called fixed or immovable joints because they do not move. Fibrous joints have no joint cavity and are connected via fibrous connective tissue.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are joined by strong fibrous tissue rich in collagen. These joints allow for very little movement (if any) and are often referred to as synarthroses.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The type of fibrous joints that are immobile is known as sutures. These are present between the skull bones. The immobile type of fibrous joint that is found between the teeth and sockets is known as gomphoses. The slightly moveable fibrous joints that are present between long bones are known as syndesmoses.
