  1. Somes bones (i.e. vertebrae in the spinal column) have articular processes on their ends that connect to other bones.  These articulations are then surrounded by fibrocartilaginous membranes.  There are several types of ways that bones are held together: (1) synovial joints (i.e. in the knee) where the ends of the bones don't actually touch, but are connected by fibrocartilaginous membranes and the spece between the bones is filled with synovial fluid, which makes the joint easier to move; (2) symphasis joints (i.e. between the vertebrae in the spinal column) like the intervertebral discs of the spinal column that are made of a hard outer shell and a spongy inner area that also act as shock absorbers; (3) fissures (i.e. the bones of the skull) that are areas that join flat bones together.  I hope this helps.
