What sort of joint does the skull have?
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.

Sutures are what kind of joint?
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.
Is the backbone an immoveable joint?
Yes, the backbone, also known as the spine, is made up of a series of connected bones called vertebrae, which are not completely immovable but allow for some limited movement. The backbone provides support and flexibility for the body, allowing for activities like bending, twisting, and turning.
