Skeletal System

Question 1

What are fibrous joints?

Answer 1

Immovable, joints, such as ones that are found in the skull and pelvis which interlock bones for stability

Question 2

What are cartilaginous joints?

Answer 2

Slightly movable joints, which feature cartilage in their structure, they have some range of movement, not extensive
