classification of synovial joints: UNIAXIAL: around one axis in one place : hinge(elbow joint), pivot(joint between first and second cervical vertebra) BIAXIAL: around two axes perpendicular to each other: saddle (thumb joint) condyloid :(joint between the radius & carpal bones) MULTIAXIAL: around many axes: ball & socket (shoulder & hip joint) gliding:joints between the articular facets of adjacent vertebrae, joints between the carpal and tarsal bones.
