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.
A fibrous joint is an immovable joint. An example would be the bones in the skull.
The base of the skull has a joint called the atlanto-occipital joint. It is a gliding joint that is between the occipital condyles of the occipital bone and the first cervical vertebra (C1). This type of joint is also called a synovial joint, or a freely movable joint. Another designation is diarthrotic joint.
An immovable joint, also known as a synarthrosis, is a type of joint in the body that allows for minimal to no movement between the adjoining bones. These joints provide structure and stability rather than mobility, and are commonly found in the skull and pelvis. Examples include sutures in the skull and the joint between the two pubic bones.
it is a joint that has little or no movement
Suture joint ie skull sections are fused with suture joints
An immovable joint. (sutures joining the bones of the skull)
Fixed joint. When you are born, there are gaps in your skull, then they start to get put together and it becomes a fixed joint.
The jaw joint
An immovable joint. (sutures joining the bones of the skull)
The atlantoccipital joint which is a gliding joint, not as some people believe it to be a pivot joint. The pivot joint in this area is the atlantoaxial joint which is between C1 & C2 and doers not come into contact with the skull.

The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, allowing a wide range of motion. The joints between the skull plates are fibrous joints known as sutures, which are immovable joints that provide strength and support to the skull.
A fibrous joint is an immovable joint. An example would be the bones in the skull.
The joint at the top of your skull is called the atlanto-occipital joint. It connects the base of your skull (occipital bone) to the top of your spine (atlas bone) allowing for nodding motions of the head.
