Suture joint ie skull sections are fused with suture joints
A joint that does not allow any movement is called a synarthrosis joint. This type of joint can be found in the skull, where two bones have a suture line that is immovable. An example is the joint between the two parietal bones of the skull.

suture
The lambdoid suture articulates with the parietal and occipital bone of the skull. Joint is another name for suture when talking about 2 bones connecting in skull.
In babies the skull joint is the fontanel (fontanelle) which helps in birth due to its flexibility but in the adult the skull joint is a fixed joint or a synarthrotic joint (immovable) called a suture.
Yes, the lambdoidal suture is an immovable fibrous joint in the human skull. It connects the parietal bones to the occipital bone and provides stability and protection to the brain.
Suture is a type of fibrous joint which only occurs in the skull (cranium). Only a tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull. On the other hand, joints are usually very flexible and can therefore move.
A suture in the brain refers to the junction where two bones of the skull fuse together. These sutures allow the skull to expand during brain growth in infants and children. The major sutures in the skull include the sagittal suture, coronal suture, lambdoid suture, and squamous suture.
Fibrous and cartilaginous joints do not have cavities
Examples of sutures as joints are found in the bone that make up the cranium which covers the brain. There are 22 bones that form the cranium. There are 11 sutures. The joint is slightly moveable and that gives some flexibility to the cranium. This type of joint is called a synarthrosis.
No, the intermaxillary suture is different from the medial palatine suture. The intermaxillary suture refers to the joint between the two maxillary bones in the midline of the skull. On the other hand, the medial palatine suture is the joint between the two palatine bones in the midline of the hard palate.
