A point where two or more bones connect is called a joint. There are two different types of joints in the body:
* Movable joints (like ball-and-socket, hinge, gliding and pivot joints)
* Immovable joints (like the bones of the skull and pelvis) which allow little or no movement
* Acromioclavicular
* Ankle (tibia-fibula and talus)
* Atlas and axis
* Atlas and occipital
* Calcaneocuboid
* Carpometacarpal
* Elbow (humerus, radius, and ulna)
* Femur and tibia
* Hip bone and femur
* Humerus and ulna
* Intercarpal:
o Carpal, proximal
o Carpal, distal
o Carpal bones (two rows with each other)
* Intermetacarpals
* Intermetatarsals
* Interphalangeal
* Knee (femur, tibia, and patella)
* Mandible (jaw) and temporal
* Metacarpophalangeal
* Metatarsophalangeal
* Pubic bones
* Radioulnar, distal
* Radioulnar, middle
* Radioulnar, proximal
* Radius-ulna and carpals (wrist)
* Ribs, heads of
* Ribs, tubercles and necks of
* Sacrococcygeal
* Sacroiliac
* Shoulder (humerus and scapula)
* Symphysis
* Sacroiliac
* Scapula and humerus
* Sternoclavicular
* Sternocostal
* Subtalar
* Talus and calcaneus
* Talus and navicular
* Tarsometatarsal
* Tibia-fibula and talus (ankle)
* Tibiofibular
* Vertebral arches
* Vertebral bodies
* Wrist (radius-ulna and carpals)
Note the double entries involving the ankle, elbow, knee and shoulder. For example, Ankle (tibia-fibula and talus) and Tibia-fibula and talus (ankle).
There are at least two bones in a joint. The elbow joint has two bones but the knee joint has three.
