The answer is: sutures of the skull.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Left forearm: The forearm contains the interosseous membrane between the radius and ulna, which is a syndesmosis joint. Therefore, this is a syndesmosis joint.

  2. Left lower limb: The lower limb contains the interosseous membrane between the tibia and fibula, which is a syndesmosis joint. Therefore, this is a syndesmosis joint.

  3. Right lower limb: Similar to the left lower limb, the right lower limb also contains the interosseous membrane between the tibia and fibula, which is a syndesmosis joint. Therefore, this is a syndesmosis joint.

  4. Sutures of the skull: Sutures are fibrous joints found in the skull, but they are not syndesmosis joints. They are a different type of fibrous joint known as sutural joints. Therefore, this is not a syndesmosis joint.

  5. Right forearm: Like the left forearm, the right forearm contains the interosseous membrane between the radius and ulna, which is a syndesmosis joint. Therefore, this is a syndesmosis joint.

In summary, the sutures of the skull are not syndesmosis joints, making them the exception in this list.
