Types of fibrous joints include  

• synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic 
• syndesmosis, suture, and gomphosis 
• synchondrosis, symphysis, and synovial
• pivot, condylar, and ellipsoidal

A fibrous joint in which an interosseous ligament binds bones is a  

• suture
• syndesmosis
• gomphosis
• symphysis

Fluid-filled sacs containing synovial fluid are called  

• bursae
• menisci
• ligaments
• tendons

Most of the joints in the ankle and wrist are  

• hinge joints

• plane joints
• condylar joints

Which of the following is a joint that can freely move?

A gomphosis:

• binds teeth to the bony sockets in the maxilla and mandible
• is located between the bones of the skull
• is found in the vertebrosternal ribs 
• is found in the epiphyses of long bones

A suture:

• is located between the bones of the skull
• is found in the epiphyseal lines of long bones 
• is a metopic suture of the frontal bone
