Suture is a type of fibrous joint which only occurs in the skull (cranium). Only a tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull. On the other hand, joints are usually very flexible and can therefore move.
Sutures are the "lines" that separate the different regions of the skull.
The coronal suture is an example of an immovable joint.
