Fibrous Joints
The adult skull is normally made up of 22 bones. Except for the mandible, all are joined together by sutures, semi-rigid articulations formed by bony ossification. The presence of Sharpey's fibers permit a little flexibility.
This diagram delineates certain bones of the skull, including the mandible, maxilla, sphenoid, parietal, lacrimal, nasal, frontal, temporal, zygomatic, and ethmoid.
