Question
unlike other joints, a________ does not join two bones to one another.
suture
syndesmosis
gomphosis
cartilaginous joint
bony joint
Brief Explanations
A gomphosis is a type of fibrous joint that anchors a tooth in its socket. It is not a joint between two bones but between a tooth (which is not considered a bone in the strict - anatomical sense) and the alveolar bone of the jaw. Sutures join skull bones, syndesmosis is a fibrous joint between bones, cartilaginous joints connect bones by cartilage, and bony joints are where bones are fused.
