Choose the accurate statement(s) regarding the types of fibrous joints. (Check all that apply.) Check All That Apply The attachment of a tooth to its socket is classified as a joint called a syndesmosis. In syndesmosis joints, the fibers are longer and the attached bones are more movable. In gomphoses joints, two bones are linked by cartilage. In sutures and gomphoses, the fibers are very short and allow for little or no movement. Sutures are immovable or only slightly movable fibrous joints that closely bind the bones of the skull to each other.
