Membranous bone. To remember which bones are membranous vs. cartilaginous, think of it this way: cartilage has no time to grow in the place of what will become membranous bones, though it does for cartilaginous. This means that membranous bone develops before cartilaginous bone. I don't know how true this is ontogenetically, but it works for me.
As membranous bone is the type of bone which develops first, it follows that it would be the type which provides the most important protection: cranial, vertebral, facial (excluding the mandible, I believe), and if I remember correctly, the ribs, sternum, and clavian bones are all membranous bones. Limb bones are all cartilaginous.
n.
A bone that forms directly in membranous connective tissue, as some cranial bones, instead of developing from cartilage.

An articulation between a vertebrae and a rib
The joints between the vertebrae of the backbone are called intervertebral joints. These joints are formed by the articulation of the vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs, which help provide stability, flexibility, and cushioning to the spine.
The cervical(neck) vertebrae. The joint formed by C1 and C2, also known as the atlas and axis.
The atlantoxial joint is formed by the first and second cervical vertebrae, known as the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) respectively. It allows for rotational movement of the head.
There is only one pivot joint in the body and it is located in the neck. It is the joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae also known as atlas and axis respectively. Axis has a the "peg" part of the pivot projecting upwards and atlas has the hole around it. This is the joint that allows the heart to rotate left to right.There are two pivot joints. One between C1 and C2 of the vertebrae. The second in the forearm between the ulna and radius.

Gliding joints are found between vertebrae except for the first two which have a pivoit joint.
Pivot joint formed between the atlas and the axis (first two vertebrae)
The type of joint found between the first and second vertebrae of the neck region, or the backbone, is called the atlantoaxial joint. It allows for rotation and flexion of the neck.
Gomphosis is a type of joint that connects teeth to the jawbone, not between vertebrae like L2 and L3. The joint between L2 and L3 is called an intervertebral joint or a symphysis joint, where the fibrocartilaginous disc sits between the two vertebrae.

A ball and socket joint allows twisting and turning side to side. It humans this would be the hip joint
This is called a gliding joint.ball and socket
The joints between the vertebrae of the backbone are called intervertebral joints. These joints are formed by the articulation of the vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs, which help provide stability, flexibility, and cushioning to the spine.
The cervical(neck) vertebrae. The joint formed by C1 and C2, also known as the atlas and axis.
The knee joint does not contain vertebrae.. that would be the spine.
The second vertebrae has a dens (meaning tooth) which sticks up into the ring made by the atlas (the first vertebra). The head can pivot with this type of joint. A person can nod the head "no".
