A joint is where two bones connect in your body, and these connections are designed to allow different amounts of movement depending on their location and purpose. Some joints, like your knee and shoulder, move freely and can handle heavy loads smoothly, while others, like the seams in your skull, allow little to no movement to keep your head stable.

Se llama articulación a la estructura anatómica que permite la unión entre dos huesos o entre un hueso y un cartílago. Las articulaciones se estabilizan mediante ligamentos que unen los extremos óseos y tienen movilidad gracias a los músculos que se insertan en sus proximidades. La parte de la anatomía que se encarga del estudio de las articulaciones es la artrología. Las funciones más importantes de las articulaciones son constituir puntos de unión entre los componentes del sistema óseo (hueso, cartílagos), y facilitar movimientos mecánicos, proporcionándole elasticidad y plasticidad al cuerpo. Algunas articulaciones no son móviles, como las que se establecen entre los huesos del cráneo, sin embargo son de gran importancia pues permiten la protección del encéfalo y hacen posible al mismo tiempo su crecimiento durante la infancia.
