Most of the Bones of the Skull are Joined by Immovable

Question

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

Accepted Answer

Sutures are fibrous joints between the bones of the skull that are essentially immovable. Fontanelles are soft spots found in the skulls of infants where bone has not yet fully developed. Lacunae are small cavities or spaces within bones that contain bone cells. Condyles are rounded protuberances at the end of bones that articulate with other bones to form joints.
