MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The suture joints are immovable or fixed joints consisting of a thin layer of dense fibrous connective tissue, which are found between all the bones of the skull except the mandible. These joints also provide strength to the joint by attaching the irregular interlocking edges of cranial bone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Suture. 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: -A suture is the fibrous joint that joins the bones of the skull to each other (except the mandible). A gomphosis is the fibrous joint that anchors each tooth to its bony socket within the upper or lower jaw.
