Gomphosis

As Gomphosis (Greek gomphosis, impaction ') refers to a special form of a fake joint, wedged in the bone together. In addition, the bones are stabilized by connective fibers that Gomphosis therefore belongs - next to the suture and the syndesmosis - to the bone connective tissue compounds ( articulationes Fibrosae ).
