Plain/gliding or sliding-All same no matter what u call it.
ball and socket joint
Your shoulder joint allows you to raise your arm above your head.
Pivot.

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. K. =)
socket and ball
The joint in a fan that allows it to swivel is called a ball joint. Ball joints work similarly to the human knee or hip when it comes to allowing motion.
Is this some kind of trick question?'Cause I think I'll ask my friends this to confuse them I'm going to go for a wild guess... it could be a cartilageneous joint (in your spine), synovial joint (freely movable joints), fiborous joint (immovable joints)... Good luck on finding the answerrr ;)
*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.
Hinge joints
It's one of two things... You're either bending enough to cause a bubble of nitrogen to appear in the disk in one of the facet joints in the spine [use Google search for facet joint]... It's just like when you pop your knuckles. The "pop" is the sound of that nitrogen bubble appearing when you bend the joint, causing a vacuum to form in the disk between the finger-joints... Or... the twisting/bending is causing some of the ligaments that help keep the spine together to slide off the edge of one of the vetebrae... kind of like strumming a guitar string. Hope that helps...
an immoable is a fixed joint such as in the skull like a sutches. some kind of joint that doesnt move.
