1. Fixed or Immoveable JointsThe bones at an immoveable joint cannot move - they overlap or interlock, and are held together by a tough fibre, e.g. the skull.

2. Slightly Moveable JointsThe bones at a slightly moveable joint can only

move a little - they are held together by strong straps called ligaments and are joined by protective

pads known as cartilage, e.g. the ribs.3. Freely Moveable JointsAt a freely moveable joint the bones move

freely.They are also known as synovial joints, andare the largest group of joints found in the

body, e.g. the hips, shoulders and knees.
