What is one type of joint that allows no movement called?

Joints which allow very little or no movement are called fibrous joints (joints held together by fibrous connective tissue).There are three types of fibrous joints:Sutures are the seams that join the bones of the cranium.Gomphoses are fibrous joints in the shape of a socket such as where the teeth attach to the jaw. These are the only Gomophose joints in the human body.Syndesmoses are fibrous joints which allow a very small amount of movement due to interosseous membranes or ligaments connecting the bones. The place where the tibia and fibula (bones of the lower leg) join at the ankle is a Syndesmosis 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 type of joint is a synostosis?

Synarthrotic is a type of joint in the body. Is is the same as "Fibrous" this means little to no movement. The first synarthrotic joint to come to mind is the sagittal suture in the skull; it fuses the left and right sides together.


What does the synovial joint allow for?

This joint allows movement in many planes.
