    There are three main types of joints in the body based on structure and function: fibrous joints which are immobile, cartilaginous joints which have limited mobility, and synovial joints which are freely mobile. Synovial joints can be classified based on their axis of movement as pivot, condyloid, plane, hinge, saddle, or ball and socket joints.
