*pivot joint-As the name suggests, this kind of joint
permits pivotal movement of the parts of body this joined.
Movement of the skull is an example. A man can turn his head
from one side to the other by rotating the skull, which is
joined to the backbone at its top in such a way that a
pivotal movements is possible
*hinge joint-This allows the movement of the part of
body in one direction up or down but not sideways. Example
of this joint is: knee-joint, elbow-joint, and movement of the
lower jaw.
*ball and socket joint-When a part is capable of making an
all round movement up and down and sideways- this is
possible by a joint of this kind. The leg can be moved in
any direction, sideways, up and down
*swivel joint- turn like a wheel on an axle. it is found between the vertebrae and the spine.

∙ 14y agothere are actually many joints in the human body, but some of the main joints are
♥ Hinge Joint: allows you to move forward or in a backward motion.
ex. your knee is a hinge joint;allows you to bend and straighten
your leg.
♥ Ball-and-socket joint: allow the greatest range of motion.
ex. shoulder, allows you to swing your arms freely in a cirlcle
♥ Pivot Joint: allows one bone to rotate around another.
ex. in your neck, allows you to turn your head from side to side.
♥ Sliding Joint: allows one bone to slide over another.
ex. the sliding joing in your wrist or ankle enables you to bend
and fles as well as make limited side-to-side motions.
umm........sorry its long but i mean its imformative too!!! so yea!!:)

What are the two types of joints in the body?
there are actually five types of joints in the human body. the two types that are most commonly referred to are the ball and socket (hips and shoulders) and the hinged (knees and elbows). the other types of joints are: immobile joints (the joining of bones in the skull); semi-mobile joints (in the ribs and vertebra, offering limited range of motion); cartilagenous joints (the joints between the vertebra in the spinal column, cartilage between the bones allows for motion) information found at infovisual.info.
How many major joints in the human body?
There are three types of joints in the human body, synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic. The diarthrotic joints are also called synovial, or freely moving, joints. They are subdivided into, moaxial, biaxial, and triaxial. The six types include; ball-and-socket, pivot, gliding, ellipsoidal, saddle, and hinge.
Are most joints in the human body synovial joints or ball and socket joints?
A ball and socket joint is a type of synovial joint. Synovial joints are the most common in the human body.
What are three types of joints?

What joints have full movement?
The joints in the body that have the most movement are called synovial joints, or freely moving joints. Technically they are classified as diarthrotic joints. The difference between synovial joints and the other types of joints is that they contain a synovial sheath that supplies them with synovium, a lubricating fluid. Of the six different types of synovial joints the ball-and-socket joints have the greatest amount of movement. The four ball-and-socket joints in the human body are the ileofemoral joints, hip joints, and the glenohumeral joints, the shoulders.
What are the five types of joints in the human body?
The five types of joints found in the body are 1)ball in socket 2)gliding 3)hinge 4)pivot 5)fixed
Where are the immovable joints found in the human body?
The immovable joints in the human body are the cranial bones. They are separate bones that are sutured together as a person grows. They do not move, and therefore are immovable joints.
