MEDICAL PHYSIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The immovable joint is known as synarthrosis. E.g: Skull sutures, attachment of teeth with the bone cavity, Syndesmoses between the tibia and fibula.

Detailed explanation-2: -The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), or jaw joint, is a synovial joint that allows the complex movements necessary for life. It is the joint between condylar head of the mandible and the mandibular fossa of the temporal bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -A gomphosis is the fibrous joint that anchors each tooth to its bony socket within the upper or lower jaw. The tooth is connected to the bony jaw by periodontal ligaments. A narrow syndesmosis is found at the distal tibiofibular joint where the bones are united by fibrous connective tissue and ligaments.

Detailed explanation-4: -Gomphoses are the immobile joints between the teeth and their sockets in the mandible and maxillae. The periodontal ligament is the fibrous tissue that connects the tooth to the socket. Syndesmoses are slightly movable joints (amphiarthroses).

Detailed explanation-5: -Fibrous joint is made up of dense connective tissue mainly collagen. They are called immovable of fixed joints. The teeth are fixed into jaws and cannot move. So, the joint between teeth and the jaw bone is fibrous joint.
