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.
A ball and socket joint allows for a wide range of movement due to its spherical structure that enables rotation in multiple directions. This type of joint is found in the hip and shoulder, allowing for a high degree of mobility and flexibility.
When the angle of a joint increases, it produces a movement called "extension." This movement typically occurs in joints such as the knee or elbow, where the angle between the two bones becomes larger. Extension is the opposite of flexion, which decreases the angle between the bones at a joint.
A joint connects to bones and allows a range of movement that depends on what type of joint it is.
A symphysis pubis joint is a type of cartilaginous joint where the two pubic bones are joined by fibrocartilage. This joint allows for limited movement to accommodate childbirth and weight-bearing activities.
A ball-and-socket joint, like the hip joint, allows for a wide range of movement as it allows both rotational and circumduction movements.

Ball and socket joint
The type of joint that allows the greatest degree of movement is the ball-and-socket joint. This type of joint allows movement in multiple directions, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation. Examples of ball-and-socket joints in the body include the hip and shoulder joints.
A synovial joint contains a fluid-filled joint cavity enclosed by an articular capsule. Some of them are enforced by ligaments. Synovial joints are freely movable and examples include the elbow joint and wrist joint.
The vertebrate is typically characterized by having a hinge joint. This joint type allows for movement in one plane, such as bending or straightening of the limb. This allows for flexibility and support in vertebrate movement.
