Question

Which of the following joint does not allow any movement?

• A. Fibrous joints
• B. Cartilaginous joints
• C. Synovial joints
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Fibrous joints

Joints are the connections or articulations between bones or between bone and cartilage. Joints are important for the movement of bony parts. There are three types of joints viz fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints and synovial joints.
1) Fibrous joints are commonly found in the skull where flat skull bones are connected by the dense white fibrous connective tissues. This type of joint doesn’t allow any movement. The points of fusion between the bones are called sutures.
2) Cartilaginous joints - Bones are joined together with the help of cartilages. This type of joint allows limited movement. For example, the joint between adjacent vertebra in the vertebral column.

3) Synovial joints- These are the joints which allow considerable movement as they contain synovial fluid between the spaces of the articulating surfaces of two bones. In this bones are connected with each other like joints of shoulder, hip, elbow, etc.
