Begin by understanding the types of joints in the human body: synovial, cartilaginous, fibrous, and hinge joints.
Synovial joints are characterized by a fluid-filled joint cavity that allows for a wide range of motion, such as the knee or shoulder.
Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage, allowing for limited movement, such as the joints between vertebrae.
Fibrous joints are connected by dense connective tissue and are typically immovable, such as the sutures in the skull.
Hinge joints allow movement in one plane, similar to the motion of a door hinge, such as the elbow or knee. The coronal suture, being a fibrous joint, is immovable and connects the frontal and parietal bones of the skull.
