Solution
The correct option is A Synarthros
- An immovable joint is an articulation between bones in which no movement occurs. It is also called a synarthrosis joint.
- It is of three types. They are sutures, syndesmosis, and gomphosis.
- Sutures are found between the bones of the skull, syndesmosis is the joint of the tibia and fibula in the ankle, and gomphosis between the root of a tooth and the sockets in the maxilla or mandible.
- Hence Synarthrosis is an immovable joint.
- So, the correct answer is 'Synarthros'.
