Do cranial bones develop within fibrous membranes?
Yes, cranial bones develop within fibrous membranes known as the sutures. These sutures allow for the skull bones to grow and expand as the brain grows during development. The sutures eventually fuse together as the individual matures.
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

What is a immovoble joint?
A type of joint that is immovable is called a synarthrotic joint. An example would be the sutures between the cranial bones.
