TYPE OF JOINT AND INFORMATION

ABOUT IT
Synovial Joints

Synovial fluid, also called synovia, is a viscous, non-

Newtonian fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints.
With its egg white–like consistency, the principal role
of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the
articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement.
Synovial fluid is a small component of the transcellular
fluid component of extracellular fluid.
Saddle joint is a type of biaxial and movable
joint that allows movements on two planes–
flexion or extension and abduction or adduction.
This joint is mainly formed between the bones,
whose articulating surfaces have both concave
and convex regions.

Cartilaginous joint

Cartilaginous joints These joints are slightly movable

joints. In these joints, the bones are united by
cartilage. These joints are mainly limited to the axial
skeleton, such as the vertebral column. These joints
are found in those places where stability and strength
are required instead of free movements.
Pivot joint

Pivot joint, also called rotary joint, or trochoid

joint, in vertebrate anatomy, a freely moveable
joint (diarthrosis) that allows only rotary
movement around a single axis. The moving
bone rotates within a ring that is formed from a
second bone and adjoining ligament.
Condyloid joint

Condyloid joints, also known as ellipsoid joints, are

composed of an egg-shaped bone known as a condyle that
fits into a similarly shaped cavity. Although it sounds
similar to a ball and socket joint, condyloid joints only
allow for forward-backward and side to side movement
and do not allow rotation.
