The flat skull bones fuse end-to-end to form the cranium, creating a joint that does not allow any movement. Identify the category of this joint and the specific tissue involved in its formation.

Options

  1. ACartilaginous joint; white fibrous cartilage
  2. BFibrous joint; loose connective tissue
  3. CSynovial joint; dense regular connective tissue
  4. DFibrous joint; dense fibrous connective tissues

Correct answer

D. Fibrous joint; dense fibrous connective tissues

Step-by-step solution

According to NCERT, fibrous joints do not allow any movement. This type of joint is shown by the flat skull bones which fuse end-to-end with the help of dense fibrous connective tissues in the form of sutures, to form the cranium. Cartilaginous joints involve cartilages and permit limited movement. Synovial joints are characterised by the presence of a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones and allow considerable movement. Loose connective tissue is not the structural compon
