no it is not. A condyloid joint is more like the ball and socket joint, but more slight. A saddle joint is two concave surfaces on top of each other, like a saddle

What is an ellipsoidal joint in the body?
An ellipsoid joint, also called a condyloid joint, is classified as a synovial joint. An example would be your metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) in your hands, between the matacarpal and first phalanx of the finger (your knuckle). It allows movement in two directions.
What kind of joint is the metacarpal-phalangeal?
Metacarpophalangeal joints of digits 2-5 are condylar or condyloid joints. They are biaxial and move in two planes. The metacarpophalangeal joint of the first digit (thumb) is a hinge joint. They all articulate between the heads of the metacarpals and the bases of the proximal phalanges. It the joint of the knuckles.
Where in the body is each joint located?
Joints are located where two bones come together. There are ball and socket joints, there are hinge joints, there are saddle joints there are pivot joints, there are gliding joints and there are condyloid joints. There are 27 bones in the hand alone so there are more than 27 joints in the hand. There are 39 joints in each arm. There are over 300 joints in the human body. There is not enough room to give you an answer for each joint in the human body.
What joints are biaxial hinge joints?
Biaxial joints allow for movement in two planes or axes. A common example of a biaxial joint is the wrist, which allow for movement side to side, and also allows for movement up and down. It can be difficult to determine whether a joint is biaxial or multiaxial, because when the biaxial joint moves in both directions at the same time, it appears to have the multiaxial quality of being able to move in any plane or axes.
What is the name of the knuckle joint?
The interphalangeal joints in the fingers are synovial hinge joints. The thumb metacarpal is a saddle joint. The metacarpo-phalangeal joints are synovial ellipsoid joints.
What kind of joints are between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?
The joint is technically called "metacarpophalangeal", and it is a condyloid joint.
What kind of synovial joint is a multiaxial joint?
Ball-and-Socket Joints
What are ellipsoid joints?
Ellipsoid Joints are multi-axial joints such as the wrist.

in your ring peice
What type of joint is the metacrophalangeal joint?
Metacarpophalangeal joint is Angular joint (also known as ellipsoid or condyloid joint).
What are the subclasses of synovial joint?
1) Gliding or planar joints 2) Hinge joints 3) Pivot joints 4) Condyloid or ellipsoidal joints 5) Saddle joints 6) ball-and-socket joints
Joints between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?
Metacarpophalangeal joint. A condyloid type of joint.
Joints between forearm bones and wrist?
is it the condyloid
What joint is the wrist?
None. Because the wrist is the joint of the arm and the hand.
What is the name of the type of the joint found in the toes?
Hinge joints, ball-and-socket joints, ellipsoid joints, saddle joints and pivot joints.
