Which of the following joints would allow no movements?
Correct answer: C. Fibrous joint
- A. Synovial joint
- B. Ball and Socket joint
- C. Fibrous joint
- D. Cartilaginous joint
Explanation
Fibrous joints are also called fixed or immovable joints because they do not allow any movement. These joints are immovable as they have no joint cavity or space present between the bones. They are connected via fibrous connective tissue. There are three types of fibrous joints: sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses. Sutures are found only in the skull, An example of a syndesmosis is the joint of the tibia and fibula in the ankle, Gomphoses occur between teeth and their sockets.So, the correct answer is 'Fibrous joint'A. Synovial joints are freely moveable joints.B. Ball and socket joint are example of freely moveable joints.D. These joints allow little movement like pubic symphysis, intervertebral disc and coastal cartilage.FTB page # 42 STB page #39

About Support and Movement
Support and movement covers the axial and appendicular skeleton, bone structure, joints and the arrangement of skeletal muscles. Muscle contraction is explained through actin, myosin, sliding filaments, calcium ions and ATP, while arthritis is distinguished as a disorder of joints rather than a normal part of movement.
