Only freely movable skull bone?
The mandible (lower jaw) is the only freely movable bone in the skull. It is connected to the temporal bone of the skull via the temporomandibular joint, allowing for opening and closing of the mouth, chewing, and speaking. The other bones of the skull are largely immovable and function to protect the brain and provide structural support.
Where is a freely movavble joint?
A freely moveable joint is commonly found in the human body at locations such as the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, and wrist. These joints allow for a wide range of motion due to the presence of synovial fluid that lubricates the joint surfaces.
What are your bones connected by?
Bones in the body are connected by joints, which are areas where two or more bones meet. Joints can be classified as immovable (such as in the skull), slightly movable (such as in the spine), and freely movable (such as in the knee or hip). They provide the flexibility and support needed for movement and stability in the body.

What kind of joint is at the base of the scull?
The base of the skull has a joint called the atlanto-occipital joint. It is a gliding joint that is between the occipital condyles of the occipital bone and the first cervical vertebra (C1). This type of joint is also called a synovial joint, or a freely movable joint. Another designation is diarthrotic joint.
Is it just ball and socket joints which are synovial?
No. Typically any joint that is freely movable is synovial. Joints that do not move, like the sutures of the skull, are not synovial.
What are some examples of moveable and imoveable joints?
Examples of immovable joints include the skull sutures in the cranium, which are connected by fibrous tissue that does not allow for movement. Examples of movable joints include the knee joint, which allows for flexion and extension, and the shoulder joint, which allows for a wide range of motion.
