and Gliding joint. Joints are meeting place of two bones. It helps in the movement of bones. Joints give more flexibility to bones to move. The nature of movements varies with the nature of joints. In Pivot joints ,the axis of a convex articular surface is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the bone. The point where the first vertebrae joints the skull. A Hinge joint is a bone joint in which the articular surfaces are molded to each other in such a manner as to permit motion only in one plane. Enables movement to one direction like a hinge. The Ball and Socket joint is a type of synovial joint in which the ball shaped surface of one rounded bone fits into the cup-like depression of another bone. It enables the bone to move in many places nearly all directions. It is a common type of synovial joint formed between bones that meet a flat or nearly flat articular surfaces.
Gliding joints allow the bones to glide past
one another in any direction along the plane of the joint-up and down ,left and right ,and diagnolly.
