What cranial bone articulates with all other cranial bones?
The Sphenoid (Sphenoidal Bone) this is why it is know as the keystone of the cranial floor *The sphenoid is not a facial bone, it is a cranial bone. There is no facial bone which 'articulates' with 'every other facial bone'. Articulation suggests jointed so sutures would make more sense & these sutures would be on all facial bones edges which knit them together

Bones act as a frame to which are attached for movement?
The skeleton is made of bones (over 300!) which act as a frame work for the attachment of muscles. The muscles shorten (because they consist of contractile tissue) to produce movement of the skeleton. Not all bones that muscles attach to are actually mobile. For example, bones that make up the cranial vault have minuscule movement, almost none compared to that of a knee or elbow joint. The type of joint dictates whether the muscle pulling on the bones will produce significant movement.
What is the junction between two immovable bones?
The bones in the skull and the bones in the sacrum come to mind . . .
