Detailed explanation-1: -Most fibrous joints are also called “fixed” or “immovable". These joints have no joint cavity and are connected via fibrous connective tissue. The skull bones are connected by fibrous joints called sutures. In fetal skulls the sutures are wide to allow slight movement during birth.
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 sutures of the skull, also referred to as the cranial sutures, are fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull.
