26 sie 2023 · Most of the bones of the skull are held together by firm, immovable fibrous joints called sutures or synarthroses. These joints allow the developing skull to grow both pre- and postnatally. The sutures of the skull are morphologically distinct, being divided into three main groups based on the margins of the articulating bones.
The joints of the skull are the junctions between bones of the skull or between skull bones and other bones. Some are fibrous (syndesmoses and suturae cranii), some are cartilaginous (synchondroses cranii), and some are synovial.
Learn about the three types of fibrous joints: sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses. Sutures are the narrow fibrous joints that join most bones of the skull, while syndesmoses are the wider fibrous joints that connect parallel bones in the forearm and leg.
Sutures of the Skull. A suture is an immobile joint between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the bones of the brain case are not straight, but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths.
Fibrous joints form strong connections between bones. (a) Sutures join most bones of the skull. (b) An interosseous membrane forms a syndesmosis between the radius and ulna bones of the forearm. (c) A gomphosis is a specialized fibrous joint that anchors a tooth to its socket in the jaw.
