Two or more bones can glue together to form what is known as a joint. Joints can be moveable or immovable depending on the connective tissues and the bones involved.

synarthrosis is a type of fibrous joint that permits very minimal or no movement. They are called fibrous joints because they are held together by fibrous connective tissues with threads of collagen.
