All articular surfaces of bone are lined by a synovial membrane, which secretes synovial fluid (a lubricating substance) into the synovial cavity (the area between two articular cartilages). Particularly, the joint between the forearm and wrist is called diarthroses.

∙ 14y agoThe joint is composed of several smaller joins of different types: ellipsoid-joint, hinge-joint, gliding-joint.
This is because you have many different bones meeting at the same place.
This means movement is allowed on two axes. Up / down and side-to-side.
In layman's terms it would probably be called a "hinge joint" even though anatomically and physiologically speaking, this would be incorrect.
