|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| gliding joint (plane) | uniaxial movement They have flattened or slightly curved surfaces, and most glide slightly in only one axis. This is the simplest synovial joint. (permit slight movement)
🗑

| What are examples of gliding joints? (plane) | the intercarpal and intertarsal joints of the wrist and foot
🗑

| hinge joint (ginglymus) | uniaxial movement. A hinge joint permits only flexion and extention. Motion is simular to that of a door.
🗑
|

| What are examples of hinge joints? (ginglymus) | elbow, knee and ankle
🗑
|

| pivot joint (trochoid) | uniaxial movement. Only allows rotation around a single axis.
🗑
|
||||
| What are examples of pivot joints? (trochoid) | articulation of the atlas and axis of the cervical spine
🗑
|
||||
| ellipsoid joint (condyloid) | biaxial movement. Permits movement in two directions at right angles to each other. Flexion and extention occur along with abduction and adduction. Circumduction, a combo of both movements, can also occur.
🗑
|
||||
| What is an example of ellipsoid joints (condyloid) | radiocarpal joint
🗑
|
||||
| saddle joints (sellar) | biaxial movement. Permits movement in two axes, simular to the ellipsoid joint.
🗑
|
||||
| What is an example of the saddle joint? (sellar) | carpometacarpal joint
🗑
|
||||
| ball and socket joint (spheroid) | multi-axial movement. Permits movement in many axes: flexion and extention, abduction and adduction, circumduction, and rotation.
🗑
|
||||
| What are examples of ball and socket joints? (spheroid) | hip and shoulder
🗑
