Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of a suture: A suture is a type of joint found between bones of the skull. It is immovable and held together by dense fibrous connective tissue.

Review the classification of joints: Joints are categorized into three main types based on their structure and function: fibrous joints, cartilaginous joints, and synovial joints.

Identify the characteristics of fibrous joints: Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue and typically do not allow movement. Sutures are a specific type of fibrous joint found in the skull.

Compare sutures to other joint types: Cartilaginous joints involve cartilage and allow limited movement, while synovial joints are highly movable and have a fluid-filled cavity. Sutures do not fit these descriptions.

Conclude that sutures are fibrous joints based on their structure and immobility, which aligns with the characteristics of fibrous joints.
