State
A fibrous joint connects bones directly with dense connective tissue and allows little or no movement between them.
Show
The sutures joining an adult skull's plates are fibrous joints that permit essentially no motion.
Watch for
Fibrous joints are immobile in adults, but an infant's skull sutures stay flexible enough to allow passage through birth.
