The human body has two pivot joints. One is in the shoulders as the glenohumeral joint, and the other is in the hip as the iliofemoral joint. Other than that I do not know what else could be considered a pivot.

∙ 11y agoPivot joints occur when a projection of one bone articulates with a ring or notch of another bone. The Atlas bone (first cervical vertebra) is a "ring" type of bone that supports the head. The Axis (second cervical vertebra) with its' dens (a tooth like projection) articulates with the Atlas to allow a rotational movement of the head.
