three main types of joints in out body are:-
• Hinge joint - hinge joint, also known as a ginglymus, is a joint that allows movement in one direction. Hinge joints include ankles, elbows, fingers, knees, and toes. These joints are formed when two or more bones meet and move along an axis to bend.
• Ball and Socket joint - Ball and socket joint is a movable joint. In this a bone with round head fits into hollow space of another bone. This makes the bone to rotate freely. For example, bones of hip and shoulder can move in all directions due to ball and socket joints.
• Pivot joint - Pivot joints consist of the rounded end of one bone fitting into a ring formed by the other bone. This structure allows rotational movement, as the rounded bone moves around its own axis. ... The joint in the neck that allows the head to move back and forth is an example of a pivot joint.
