inflexible joints

Inflexible joints are connections in the body where bones move very little or not at all, primarily providing stability rather than mobility. Examples include sutures in the skull, which tightly bind bones together, and certain parts of the pelvis. These joints are designed to hold bones firmly in place, protecting sensitive tissues or supporting structural integrity. Unlike flexible joints like the knees or elbows that allow movement, inflexible joints limit motion to maintain safety and stability in specific areas. They are essential for overall body support and protect organs and vital structures.
