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).
