fibrous joint in dogs

Nonsynovial joint in which the articulating bones or cartilages are connected by ligaments. Examples: sagittal suture, inferior tibiofibular syndesmosis, gomphosis.[FMA]. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.

What the fibrous joint is

Nonsynovial joint in which the articulating bones or cartilages are connected by ligaments. Examples: sagittal suture, inferior tibiofibular syndesmosis, gomphosis.[FMA]. The atlas records it as a joint at the organ scale in the dog.

Where the fibrous joint is

It sits within the skeletal system. Only the system is known. The position shown carries almost no spatial information.

What the fibrous joint connects to

The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 2 kinds of connection. a kind of skeletal joint.

Supply and innervation

This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the fibrous joint. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
