You may be thinking of the "universal joint" in mechanics or a ball and socket joint, such as the shoulder or hip, in the skeletal system.

What are mobile joints?
Mobile Joints are joints that allow movement
What kind of movement does synarthrotic joints allow?
synarthrodial joints are immovable joints
Do all joints allow movement?
No because there are many joints in human being which do not move like the pne in skull
The joint where the bones meet and join solidly are where?
it depends on which joint it is.Flexibility: Joints enable your body to moveBall and socket joints: Are the most mobile type of joint in your bodySaddle joints: Enable you to grasp thingsExplanations:Ball and socket joints, like your hip and shoulder joints, are the most mobile type of joint in the human body. They allow you to swing your arms and legs in many different directions.Ellipsoidal joints, such as the joint at the base of your index finger, allow bending and extending, rocking from side to side, but rotation is limited.Gliding joints occur between the surfaces of two flat bones that are held together by ligaments. Some of the bones in your wrists and ankles move by gliding against each other.Hinge joints, like in your knee and elbow, enable movement similar to the opening and closing of a hinged door.The pivot joint in your neck allows you to turn your head from side to side.The only saddle joints in your body are in your thumbs. The bones in a saddle joint can rock back and forth and from side to side, but they have limited rotation.
What is a functional classification of joints and applies to joints that allow a wide range of motion?
diarthrosis
Where are the ellipsoidal in the body?
Specifically ellipsoidal joints are joints in the body which by their shape and ligaments allow only flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.Rotation is impossible. The wristis an example of this type of joint.
What joints use rotation?
The Trochoidal joints permit rotational movement around a long axis as with the rotation of the radius at the radioulnar joint. i.e. ( the neck)
What are the differences in the 5 movable joints?
Ball-and-socket joints allow movement in all directions. They are the hip and shoulder joints. Hinge joints allow movement in one direction only. They are elbow, knee, and finger joints. A pivot joint allows partial rotation of the head. It is located between the first two vertebrae in the neck. Gliding joints, where the bones move a short distance sliding against each other, are in the wrist and ankle.
What are mobile joints?
Mobile Joints are joints that allow movement
How many degrees of rotation do the bones in your body have?
Depends which bone, or more importantly, which joint you are referring to. The atlantoaxial joint (highest 2 vertebrae is neck) allow alot of rotation, similarly, the radiohumeral joint (one of the joints at the elbow) has a fair bit of rotation. Alternatively, lower lumbar intervertebral joints have little rotational component. Thus the question is much too broad to provide an appropriate answer.
What does joints do?
Allow movement. Your elbows and knees are joints.
What kind of movement does synarthrotic joints allow?
synarthrodial joints are immovable joints
What joints allow limited movement?
Cartilaginous joints such as those in your spine allow very limited movement.
Which are the joints where the bones meet but they do not allow movement?
immovable joints
Do all joints allow movement?
No because there are many joints in human being which do not move like the pne in skull
What is the medical term meaning joints that allow little or no movement?
These joints are called fixed joints.
What is flexion and rotation?
Flexion is when you flex your arms, thighs, and other muscles. Rotation is when you rotate your joints, bending or twisting you muscles.
