What are the types of fixed joint?
The types of fixed joints are suture joints, gomphosis joints, and synostosis joints. Suture joints are found in the skull, gomphosis joints are where teeth articulate with the jawbone, and synostosis joints are where bones have fused together, such as in the skull bones of infants.
Why is it important that skull joints cannot move?
Immovable skull joints are necessary for the protection of the brain. If they would move, the spaces between them could allow something dangerous into the brain. They do overlap until after birth so that the infants' head can go through the birth canal easily and then they fuse to make a strong protective 'helmet'.
