Fixed joints are connected by dense connective tissue, consisting mainly of collagen. These are fixed joints where bonesare united by a layer of white fibrous tissue of varying thickness. In the skull the joints between the bones are called sutures. Such immovable joints are also referred to as synarthroses.
Cartilaginous joints are connected entirely by cartilage (fibrocartilage or hyaline).[1]Cartilaginous joints allow more movement between bones than a fibrous joint but less than the highly mobile synovial joint. Cartilaginous joints also forms the growth regions of immature long bones and the intervertebral discs of the spinal column.

Fibrous joints contain fibrous connective tissue and cannot move; fibrous joints include sutures, syndesmoses, and gomphoses. ... Synovial joints are the only joints that have a space (a synovial cavity filled with fluid) between the adjoining bones.
