The radius and ulna are joined by a syndesmosis along the lengths of their shafts. The distal radioulnar joint is not a syndesmosis.

Which joint is an example of syndesmosis?
A syndesmosis joint is a type of slightly movable joint (amphiarthrosis) characterized by fibrous connective tissue that forms an interosseus membrane. An example would be the distal articulation of the tibia and fibula.
What is radioulnar joints and which type of movement occurs?
The proximal and distal are pivot synovial while the middle is syndesmosis/fibrous
Syndesmosis is a type of fibrous joint where the bones are held together ba an?
Are syndesmosis bones held together by interosseous ligaments?
Is a syndesmosis bone held together by interosseous ligament?
A syndesmosis is a type of articulation, or joint, in which two adjacent bones are joined by an interosseous membrane.
Two long bones joined by a broad interosseous membrane form what type of joint?
Syndesmosis.
What type of joint does a forearm have?
There is elbow joint at proximal end and wrist joint at the distal end. Both are synovial type of joints.
What bony landmark of the anterior humerus articulates with the ulna?
To you mean the joint itself? The elbow, AKA the proximal-distal axis of the humerus and ulna, respectively.Or just the distal epiphysis of the humerus (the rounded head of the bone which is farther fromthe arm's point of attachment to the torso)
What joint is the ankle?
Ankle is a synovial type of joint. You have the lower end of tibia bone, medially and lower end of fibula bone, laterally and talus bone on other side of the joint.
What joint permits slight movement?
Sutures are immovable joints that bind the bones of the skull -- they allow no movement. Gomphosis are the joints that attach a tooth to the socket -- they also allow no movement. The syndesmosis is a fibrous joint where two bones are bound by larger collagenous fibers than a suture or gomphoses -- this type of joint offers a little more mobility. For example, one that offers very little movement is the joint that binds the distal ends of the tibia and fibula together. Another sydesmosis joint is where the ulna and radius are joined, which allows for pronation and supination of the forearm.
What is atlanto-occipital joint?
it is one among the craniovertebral joints. it is an ellipsoid type of synovial joint. articulating bones: proximally- occipital condyles. distally- superior articular facests of the atlas. movements: flexion, extension and lateral flexion of neck.
What type of fracture results from the radius and ulna being forced backward and upward?
A fracture resulting from the radius and ulna being forced backward and upward is called a Colles' fracture. It is a type of distal radius fracture where the bone breaks near the wrist joint, usually due to a fall on an outstretched hand. Colles' fractures typically result in a dorsal displacement of the hand and a characteristic deformity known as a "dinner fork" deformity.
What type of joints are the radius and ulna?
Synovial pivot joint
