held together by fibrous connective tissue; synarthrosis: relatively immobile
eg: sutures connect flat bones in skull, gomphosis hold teeth in jaws, syndesmoses are interosseous membranes between long bones: forearm, leg
cartilaginous joints
held together by hyaline or fibrocartilage; amphiarthrosis: somewhat moveable
