Question

Sutures are found only in the skull A symphysis is a joint in which bones are connected by fibrous bands. A pivot joint is a form of a uniaxial joint. The gomphoses joint is the most complex joint in the body. The epimysium, endomysium and perimysium may all be continuous with Tendons are often continuous with the endosteum of bone tissue There are more than 600 muscles in the body. When a muscle contracts, the bone moved is the bone of insertion. Another name for muscle cells is muscle fibers. Muscle fibers of skeletal muscle contain several nuclei. The term striated involuntary muscle refers to cardiac muscle.

Explanation / Answer

Answer:

1) True: A suture is a type of fibrous joint which only occurs in the skull.

2) True: Symphysis is a cartilaginous joint in which the ends of the articulating bones are covered with hyaline cartilage, but between this is a broad, flat disc of fibrocartilage that connects the bones.

3) True: Pivot joint is a form of synovial joint which movement occured around one axis (only in one plane). Thus, it is a uniaxial synovial joint.

4) False: Gomphoses are a types of fibrous joints in which the tissue linking the structures is ligamentous. It is a joint that binds the teeth to bony teeth sockets in the maxillary bone and mandible. However, complex joint are those which having two or more articulation surfaces and an articular disc or meniscus (e.g. knee joint).
