Where are immmovoble joint found in the body?

Immoveable joints also called immovable fibrous joints, are classified as immovable joints because adjacent bones at the joint are completely fixed with minimal movement.

Immovable joints are mainly formed between the flat surfaces of bones in the skull and the pelvis, and between the teeth and their sockets in the jaws.

Skull

The skull is made up of several immovable joints that connect the bones of the cranium. These joints are important for protecting the brain and other delicate structures within the skull.

Sutures are immovable joints that connect the flat bones of the cranium. Sutures are filled with a dense connective tissue called sutural ligament.

Syndesmoses are immovable joints that connect bones that are separated by a layer of connective tissue. Syndesmoses are found between the tibia and fibula in the lower leg.

Gomphoses are immovable joints that connect the roots of teeth to the sockets in the jaws. Gomphoses are formed by a dense connective tissue called periodontal ligament.
