This type of fibrous joint is found between the shaft regions of the long bones in the forearm and in the leg. Lastly, a gomphosis is the narrow fibrous joint between the roots of a tooth and the bony socket in the jaw into which the tooth fits.

Oct 30, 2023 · The fibrous skeleton of the heart, also called the cardiac skeleton, consists of four fibrous rings (anuli fibrosi, singular: annulus fibrosis) and the membranous portions of the septa of the heart. This skeleton is located at the base of the ventricles, between the atria and the ventricles.

Fibrous joints form strong connections between bones. [image description:]
The primary structure of cardiac skeleton consists of four dense bands of tough elastic tissue called fibrous rings that encircle the bases of the heart valves. The fibrous skeleton is composed primarily of collagen, a protein found in every type of connective tissue in the human body. There are four fibrous rings:
Figure 9.5 Fibrous Joints Fibrous joints form strong connections between bones. (a) Sutures join most bones of the skull. (b) An interosseous membrane forms a syndesmosis between the radius and ulna bones of the forearm. (c) A gomphosis is a specialized fibrous joint that anchors a tooth to its socket in the jaw.
A joint is the location at which two or more bones make contact. Joints are classified based on structural and functional properties. Fibrous joints, such as sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses, have no joint cavity. Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue consisting mainly of collagen.

Where are narrow fibrous joints found?
Narrow fibrous joints are found at a suture, gomphosis, or syndesmosis. A suture is the fibrous joint that joins the bones of the skull to each other (except the mandible). A gomphosis is the fibrous joint that anchors each tooth to its bony socket within the upper or lower jaw. The tooth is connected to the bony jaw by periodontal ligaments.
