Best Answer

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.
