Ball and socket joint, I believe
The ball-and-socket joint allows the greatest amount of movement, like the shoulder or hip.

i like turtles!
There are six joints that have movement. The plvotal joint is what allows up and down movement.
The four kinds of movable joints are hinge joint, ball-and-socket, pivot joint, and gliding joint.Movable joint: allows forward or backward.Ball-and-socket joint: allows the greatest range of motion.Pivot joint: allows one bone to rotate around another.Gliding joint: allows one bone to slide over another.~ A.

This is a saddle joint which allows movement in two planes instead of one. It allows the thumb to cross the palm of the hand. This joint allows biaxial movement. This allows movement in the frontal and sagittal planes.
This joint allows movement in many planes.
A fibrous joint that allows no or little movement are called as Fixed joints or Immovable joints For e.g Sutures in the skull, peg and socket joint of the teeth or syndesmosis between the lower ends of tibia and fibula
Ball and socket joint
A joint connects to bones and allows a range of movement that depends on what type of joint it is.

The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, which is the type that allows the greatest range of movement. it allows the arm to move forward and backward (as when you swing your arms while walking); abduction and adduction (as in jumping jacks); and many intermediate movements.
