Explanation:
There are six types of synovial joints. These are a pivot, hinge, saddle, plane, condyloid, and ball and socket joints. The pivot joint is a type of synovial joint that allows rotation. The joint between atlas and axis is pivot joint which allows the movement of the head back and forth. The hinge joint is a type of synovial joint which allows movement only in one axis, that is flexion and extension. Knee joint, ankle joint are examples of the hinge joint. Ball and socket joint allows rotation in multiple directions. In this type of joint, ball-shaped surface of one joint lies in the socket-like depression of another joint. The hip joint is an example of ball and socket joint. Saddle joint is the joint present between the carpal and metacarpal of thumb. It allows flexion,extension, adduction, abduction and circumduction movements. It provides stability and flexibility to bones.
