Most of the Skull Bones are Joined by Immovable Joints

Question

Most of the skull bones are joined by immovable joints called _______.
A) fontanelles
B) lambdoids
C) sutures
D) osteons

Accepted Answer

Most of the bones in the skull are connected by immovable, fibrous joints called sutures. These sutures provide stability and strength to the skull while also allowing for some growth and flexibility during early development. Fontanelles are soft spots on a baby's skull where sutures have not yet fully formed, and lambdoids are a type of suture that connects the occipital bone to the parietal bones. Osteons are the structural units of compact bone tissue.
