Fibrous joints are a type of joint where the bones are joined by strong fibrous tissue rich in collagen. These joints allow for very little movement (if any) and are often referred to as synarthroses.
Examples
cranial sutures between bones of the skull
gomphoses between teeth and alveolar bone
syndesmoses between the radius and ulna, and between the tibia and fibula
