Summarize how the three types of fibrous joints are structurally similar
What will be an ideal response?
Sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses are the three types of fibrous joints. Sutures are reinforced by dense regular collagenous connective tissue that links together bones of the cranium with little space between articulating bones. With gomphoses, teeth are anchored into the mandible or maxilla by a strong fibrous membrane called the periodontal ligament. Dense regular collagenous connective tissue forms a membrane, called the interosseous membrane (ligament), which joins articulating bones in syndesmosis joints and may have larger spaces between articulating bones.

A) Decreasing estrogen levels causes cervical dilation and endometrial contractions. B) Relaxin causes cervical dilation, fetal weight distorts the myometrium, and the distortion of the cervix and the myometrium triggers release of oxytocin. C) Inhibin causes cervical dilation, fetal weight distorts the myometrium, and the distortion of the cervix and myometrium triggers the release of prolactin. D) Relaxin causes cervical dilation, fetal weight distorts the myometrium, and the distortion of the cervix and myometrium triggers the release of inhibin. E) Falling levels of estrogen and prosterone cause cervical dilation and the shedding of the functional layer which causes myometrial contractions.
