|
|
synovial joint: aritculating surfaces are flat or slightly curved, allowing sliding movements in one or two planes
|
gliding joint
|
|
synovial joint: the rounded process of one bone fits into the concave surface of another to allow movement in one plane
|
hinge
|
|
synovial joint: the rounded or conical surface of one bone articulates with a shallow depression or foramin in another bvone
|
pivot
|
|
synovial joint: the oval condyle of one bone fits into an elliposoidal depression in another bone
