Understand the classification of joints: Joints in the human body are classified based on their structure and function. The main types are fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints.
Identify the characteristics of fibrous joints: Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue consisting mainly of collagen. They are typically immovable or allow very limited movement.
Examine the options provided: The options include Synovial joint, Suture, Synchondrosis, and Symphysis.
Recognize the type of each option: Synovial joints are freely movable and have a synovial cavity. Sutures are fibrous joints found in the skull. Synchondrosis and Symphysis are types of cartilaginous joints.
