Is there a pivot joint in your neck?
Part of the elbow is a ball and socket joint, but the elbow is made up of three different kinds of joint.The first joint is between the Humerus (bone of the upper arm) and the Ulna (the larger of the two forearm bones) which is a Hinge Joint. Hinge joints allow for movement along one plane. In the arm, this allows the movement used when a person touches their shoulder with the hand of the same arm.The second joint is between the Humerus and the Radius (the smaller of the two forearm bones) and this is a ball and socket joint.The third joint is between the Radius and the Ulna and this is a pivot joint. A pivot joint allows rotation of a joint, in the arm this allows the movement used when turning the palms upwards or downwards.
What kind of the joint is the neck?
If it is circular, it is Ball and Socket. If it is Hinge, it is only back and fourth. If it is Pivot, which it is, it is side to side. Gliding joints are a sliding motion, a bone going past another. Finally, the Fixed Joints are immovable. I hope this will help a lot!!(:

No, knee joint is a compound joint (condyloid joint between tibia and femur and saddle joint between femur and patella).Yes, there is a pivot joint in the knee. Pivot joints can also be found in a person's neck, forearms, and other parts of the body. This is because the pivot joint moves by rotating.The knee is mainly a hinge joint not a pivot joint.
