Question

multiple choice question

which type of fibrous joint has longer fibers?

gomphoses
syndesmoses
sutures

Explanation:

Using the Fibrous Joints knowledge point

Identify fibrous joint types

Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue and lack a joint cavity. The three structural types are sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses.

Compare fiber lengths

Sutures and gomphoses have very short collagen fibers, allowing little to no movement. Syndesmoses are bound by longer collagen fibers (such as interosseous membranes), permitting limited movement.

Answer:

• Gomphoses
• Syndesmoses (Correct answer)
• Sutures
