Immovable.
Cartilaginous Joints
Synarthrotic joints allow for minimal to no movement. They are immovable or allow very limited movement and provide stability and support to the body. Examples include the joints between the skull bones (sutures).

Collagen provides structural support and strength to the skeletal system by forming the framework for bones and joints. It helps to maintain bone density and strength, as well as contribute to the elasticity and flexibility of joints, tendons, and ligaments.
There are three types of joints in the human body, synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic. The diarthrotic joints are also called synovial, or freely moving, joints. They are subdivided into, moaxial, biaxial, and triaxial. The six types include; ball-and-socket, pivot, gliding, ellipsoidal, saddle, and hinge.

There are three different categories of joints. They are: synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic.The synarthrotic joints are mostly immovable and contain cartilage between the bones. An example of these are the suture joints between the cranial bones. Amphiarthrotic joints are a bit more movable and are made of reticular fibers such as those found in the intervertebral discs. The diarthrotic joints are also called synovial joints, or freely moving joints, and comprise the largest group of joints in the human body. These joints are responsible for the overall movement of the body, like the arms and the legs.
The Thoracic Spine is the least mobile segment of the spinal column and it contributes to it's share by lengthening dynamically during movement.
In babies the skull joint is the fontanel (fontanelle) which helps in birth due to its flexibility but in the adult the skull joint is a fixed joint or a synarthrotic joint (immovable) called a suture.
