Describe the structural and functional classification of syndesmoses
What will be an ideal response?
Syndesmoses are classified structurally as fibrous joints due to the presence of a membrane composed of dense regular collagenous connective tissue. The interosseous membrane (ligament) allows a limited amount of movement between articulating bones. Functionally, syndesmoses are amphiarthroses since they allow articulating bones, such as the ulna and radius or the tibia and fibula, to pivot against one another.
