There are absorbable sutures, such as the surgical gut and fascia lata. Then there are non-absorbable sutures, such as silk, cotton, wire, dacron, linen, silver wire clips, silkworm gut, mesh, and tantalum. For more information on these sutures visit:

What type of joints are found in the scull?
The joints found in the skull are mainly fibrous joints called sutures, which connect the cranial bones. These sutures help protect the brain while allowing some flexibility and growth in early life.

Are sutures found in the acetabulum?
No, sutures are not naturally found in the acetabulum. The acetabulum is a concave socket in the pelvis where the head of the femur fits to form the hip joint. Sutures are fibrous joints found in the skull where bones articulate.
What types of joints are in sutures and gomphosis?
Sutures have fibrous joints where adjacent bones are united by a thin layer of dense connective tissue. Gomphosis is a type of fibrous joint specific to the attachment of teeth to the jawbone, where the tooth is held in a socket by periodontal ligaments.
What are skeletal sutures?
Skeletal sutures are immovable joints found between the bones of the skull. These sutures allow the skull to grow during infancy and childhood, but eventually fuse together in adulthood to form a single, solid structure. The main types of sutures in the skull are the sagittal suture, coronal suture, lambdoid suture, and squamous suture.
What type of sutures are used for a thyroidectomy?
For a thyroidectomy, typically absorbable sutures, such as Vicryl or PDS, are used for closure of the incision. These sutures dissolve over time and do not need to be removed. Occasionally, skin staples may also be used for closure.
What type of sutures are used in vascular surgery?
Blood vessels are typically anastomosed (sewn together) or repaired with permanent, monofilament polypropylene (prolene) sutures

Which type of joint helps the skeletal system protect organs inside the body?
sutures
What is the joint between the jaw and the skull?
the cranial fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints.immovable joints
What is another name for skull sutures?
The cranial sutures are fibrous joints, also known as synarthroses.

According to a diagram outlined in your reading material the zigzag lines that connect the individual bones of the skull are called?
These lines are called sutures. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skull
What is serrate sutures?
Serrate sutures are a type of fibrous joint found in the human skull where the edges of adjacent bones interlock in a saw-tooth pattern, resembling serrated edges. This interlocking structure provides stability and strength to the skull, helping to protect the brain. Common examples of serrate sutures include the sagittal suture and the coronal suture. These sutures are important for the growth and development of the skull during early life.
What joint permit the skull to grow with the child but have very limited flexibilty?
Sutures
What is a immovoble joint?
A type of joint that is immovable is called a synarthrotic joint. An example would be the sutures between the cranial bones.
