The most common example of immovable joints are found in the sutures of the adult skull.

The teeth in their sockets form immovable joints as well.

The growth plates of children's long bones are immovable joints.

The joint between the first rib and the breastbone is also an immovable joint.

What tissues make up a joint?

Joints may be synovial (with a cavity) or fibrous. Synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. Fibrous joints lack this. Fibrous joints are found in between the vertebrae. Cartilage in is both joints. This can be hylaine or fibrocartilage. Both regenerate. The synovial fluid is rather slippery and allows easy movement in those joints. If this joint is suddenly and rapidly pulled, the fluid doesn't fill quickly and a "snapping" sound is heard.
