Joints come in three different varieties. The least movable are the synarthrotic. The example of these are the suture joints in the cranium. They are not fused together, but rather, separated by a very thin cartilage. The next, more movable joints are the amphiarthrotic joints. These are found between the vertebrae of the spine. The most movable are the diarthrotic joints, also called freely moving, or synovial joints. There are six types; ball-and-socket, hinge, pivot, gliding, saddle, and ellipsoidal.
