Q

Functionally, why are sutures in an adult skull classified as synarthroses and syndesmoses other than gomphoses classified as amphiarthroses?

A

Because they are immovable; syndesmoses other than gomphoses are classified as amphiarthroses because they are slightly moveable.

48
Q

__ help hold bone to bone.
