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.

Cartilaginous joints are joints in which the bones are attached by cartilage. These joints allow for only a little movment, such as in the spine or ribs. Synovial joints allow for much more movement than cartilaginous joints. Cavaties between bones in synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate and protect the bones. Bursa sacks contain the synovial fluid.
