Joints are the areas where two bones meet. Most joints are mobile, allowing the bones to move.
Cartilage helps reduce the friction of movement.
There are many types of joints, including joints that do not move in adults, such as the suture joints in the skull. Other joints may move a little, such as the vertebrae.
