Can you have sutures on the inside?
The short answer is yes. Sutures are used to hold skin or parts of your body together. When they are used internally, they can be absorbable or non-absorbable sutures. Non-absorbable sutures can be left in the body for a number of reasons and usually to hold something together for life, like a vasectomy, and as the name suggest absorbable sutures will absorbe into your body over time and never need removing.

What function do immovable joints in the skull?
They are not joints - they are called 'Sutures'. (soo-chers) In the unborn infant, the sutures are loose and can move around a bit. This helps the infant's head exit the mother's body when it is born. The loose sutures also allow for the baby's head to grow. When the skull is as big as it is going to get, the sutures start growing a little more bone, and they attach to each other solidly. In adulthood, the sutures have no use - they are simply left over from childhood.
