Plane or gliding joints |
Joints that allow for movement between two flat surfaces such as between the superior and inferior facets or adjacent vertebrae or intertarsal or intercarpal joints |
|
|
Hinge joints |
Joints that allow for angular movement, such as in the elbow, in the knee, or between the phalanges of the fingers. You can increase or decrease the angle of the two bones with this joint. |
|
|
Joints that allow for rotational movement between two bones, such as in movement of the atlas and the axis when moving the head to indicate no. They also occur at the proximal radius and ulna |
Pivot joints |
|
|
Ellipsoid are condyloid joint |
Joint photo Al significant movement into planes, such as at the base of the phalanges. consists of a convex surface paired with a concave surface. The Junction between the radius and the scaphoid bone is a good example of this type of joint. |
|
|
These joints have to concave surfaces that articulate with one another. This provides for more movement in the thumb |
Saddle joints |
|
|
Ball-and-socket joints |
These joints consists of a spherical head in a round concave Ade, such as in the shoulder and the hip. There is extensive movement in these joints, yet they are inherently less stable due to the freedom of movement that they afford |
|
|
Where can the hinge joints he found? |
Elbow,knee, between fingers |
|
|
Example of Pivot joints |
The atlas of the head. Radius and ulna |
