Which type of joint is present between the skull bones? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which type of joint is present between the skull bones?
A. Fibrous joint (suture)
B. Ball and socket joint
C. Hinge joint
D. Pivot joint
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
The joints between skull bones are immovable fibrous joints called sutures, where bones are tightly connected by dense connective tissue. Hinge joint (elbow, knee) allows movement in one plane. Ball and socket (shoulder, hip) allows multi-directional movement. Pivot joint (atlas-axis) allows rotational movement. Sutures fuse completely in old age.
