A fixed joint is a joint between two bones that doesn't move.

A good example of this is in the skull - the skull plates don't move together or against each other, but they are connected or fused.

Fixed joints are also called fused joints for this reason.

What joint connects the axial and appendicular skeletons?

The sternoclavicular joint connects the axial skeleton (through the sternum) to the appendicular skeleton (through the clavicle).


Joint between axial skeleton and pelvic girdle?

The joint between the axial skeleton and the pelvic girdle is called the sacroiliac joint. It connects the sacrum of the axial skeleton to the ilium of the pelvic girdle. This joint is important for transferring forces between the spine and the lower body during activities such as walking and running.


What joint is an immovable joint that holds bones of the axial skeleton tightly together to protect?

A suture joint is an immovable joint that holds bones of the axial skeleton tightly together to protect the brain and spinal cord. Sutures are fibrous connective tissue that allow for some slight movement during growth and development but mainly serve to protect and support the structures within the skull.


Both the scapula and clavicle form joints with the axial skeleton is true or flase?

True. The scapula forms a joint with the axial skeleton at the sternum, while the clavicle forms a joint with the axial skeleton at the scapula. These joints allow for movement of the upper limbs and help support the upper body.


Which type of joint is the most typical of the joints of the appendicular skeleton?

The most typical type of joint in the appendicular skeleton is the synovial joint. These joints allow for a wide range of motion and are found at the connections between bones in the limbs, such as the shoulder and hip joints.
