The six types of freely movable joint include:
Condyloid joint :
this permits movement without rotation, such as in the jaw or finger joints
Pivot joint :
one bone swivels around the ring formed by another bone, such as the joint between the first and second vertebrae in the neck.
Gliding joint or plane joint :
Smooth surfaces slip over one another, allowing limited movement, such as the wrist joints.
Hinge joint :
the two bones open and close in one direction only (along one plane) like a door, such as the knee and elbow joints.
Saddle joint :
this permits movement back and forth and from side to side, but does not allow rotation, such as the joint at the base of the thumb.
Ball and socket joint :
the rounded head of one bone sits within the cup of another, such as the hip joint or shoulder joint. Movement in all directions is allowed.
