Metacarpophalangeal joint. A condyloid type of joint.
is it the condyloid
The joint is technically called "metacarpophalangeal", and it is a condyloid joint.
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
The joints between the articular processes of the spinal collumn are synovial joints of the plane variety they are often known as Facet joints.
Ball and Socket Saddle Hinge Pivot Gliding Condyloid
The condyloid joint is found at the wrist. It allows movement in two planes; this is called biaxial. It allows you to bend and straighten the joint. and move from side to side. The joints between the metacarpals and phalanges are also condyloid.
The second through fourth metacarpophalangeal joints are condyloid joints. The first metacarpophalangeal joint is a saddle joint.
Ball-and-Socket Joints
A diarthrosis joint is actually very mobile. Diarthrosis is a category that encompasses gliding, hinge, pivot, condyloid, ball and socket, and saddle joints.
