skeletal
Fibrous connective tissue is known as matrix. Matrix helps to connect joints and enables movement of the joints. If this becomes damaged, the joint or limb may become unusable.
1. Bony Fusion- bones fused together; no movement (also called synostoses joints)2. Fibrous Joints-immovable joints (synarthroses) that have fibrous connective tissue between the articulating bones; little to no movement3. Cartilaginous Joints- cartilage between the bones4. Synovial Joints- have a joint cavity lined by a synovial membrane
Fibrous cartilage
A ligament is a special type of fibrous tissue that connects one bone to another bone.
The joints which allow the least amount of movement are Fibrous Joints - also known as immovable joints. These joints are held firmly together by strong connective tissue and allow no or very little movement. Examples are the joints between the bones in the skull and the teeth.
There is no fibrous connective tissue in bone, but there is dense irregular tissue known as periosteum that covers bones (all except the articulating surfaces) and provides attachment sites for tendons and ligaments.
A ligament is located in many joints of the body, including the knee and shoulder . Ligaments are the tough, fibrous tissue between joints to reduce friction.
Synarthrosis joints are immovable joints connected by tough, fibrous connective tissue, whereas Amphiarthrosis Joints are partially movable joints with cartilage between their articular surfaces.

Joints may be synovial (with a cavity) or fibrous. Synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. Fibrous joints lack this. Fibrous joints are found in between the vertebrae. Cartilage in is both joints. This can be hylaine or fibrocartilage. Both regenerate. The synovial fluid is rather slippery and allows easy movement in those joints. If this joint is suddenly and rapidly pulled, the fluid doesn't fill quickly and a "snapping" sound is heard.
Immovable joints, also known as fibrous joints, are held together by connective tissue like cartilage or dense fibrous tissue. These joints allow for very little to no movement and provide stability and strength to the skeleton. Examples include the skull sutures and teeth sockets.
A fibrous joint is essentially immovable, as it is held together by dense fibrous connective tissue, such as sutures in the skull. These joints provide stability and protection to the underlying structures.

Fibrous joints are connected by collagen fibers. There are three types of fibrous joints in the human body: sutures between the skull bones, syndesmoses (distal articulation of tibia and fibula) and gomphoses (articulations of teeth in jaw bones). The only gomphoses in the human body are the attachment of the roots of the teeth in the sockets of the alveolar processes of the lower-jaw (mandible) and upper-jaw (maxillae).
