Our body has movable as well as immovable joints present between bones. Fibrous bones are present in the cranium and are immovable. Cartilaginous joints allow limited movement, e.g. joints between two vertebrae. Synovial joints are movable joints, e.g. joints in our appendicular skeleton, which help us in locomotion and movement.
