Pivot joint. The pivot joint, also called
the rotary joint or trochoid joint, is
characterized by one bone that can
swivel in a ring formed from a second
bone. Ex are the joints between
your ulna and radius bones that
rotate your forearm.
Gliding joint. The gliding joint is also
called the plane join. Although it only
permits limited movement, it’s
characterized by smooth surfaces that
can slip over one another. Ex: the
joint in your wrist.
Saddle joint. Although the saddle joint does
not allow rotation, it does enable movement
back and forth and side to side. Example :
the joint at the base of your thumb.
