Gliding joints are found between vertebrae except for the first two which have a pivoit joint.
The joints between the vertebrae of the backbone are called intervertebral joints. These joints are formed by the articulation of the vertebral bodies and the intervertebral discs, which help provide stability, flexibility, and cushioning to the spine.
Between articular processes; it is a synovial joint. Plane type. Between the adjacent vertebral bodies; There is also a cartilaginous joint between the adjoining vertebrae. More specifically, it is of symphyses kind because of the fibrocartilage in the intervertebral discs and healing cartilage superiorly and inferiorly abudding it.
A Planar joint is also known as a gliding joint, and allows sliding or back and forth motions as well as twisting movements.Examples of Planar joints are in the wrists and ankles, and the joints between the vertebrae in the spine.
There are three types of joints in your body. You have fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial types of joints in your body. You have fibrous type of joint between, say the bones on the top of skull, between the teeth and teeth bearing bones and lower end of tibia and fibula bones. You have cartilaginous type of joints between epiphysis and diaphysis of the long bones. You have the same type of joint between the vertebrae and at pubic symphysis. You have synovial type of joints at shoulder and hip joints. Also at elbow and knee joints. All movable joints fall under this category.
The joint type that includes the joints between the vertebral bodies is a cartilaginous joint called an intervertebral disc joint. The joint type that includes the joints forming the pubic symphysis is a cartilaginous joint called a symphysis joint.
Pivot joint formed between the atlas and the axis (first two vertebrae)
The type of joint found between the first and second vertebrae of the neck region, or the backbone, is called the atlantoaxial joint. It allows for rotation and flexion of the neck.
Gomphosis is a type of joint that connects teeth to the jawbone, not between vertebrae like L2 and L3. The joint between L2 and L3 is called an intervertebral joint or a symphysis joint, where the fibrocartilaginous disc sits between the two vertebrae.
pivot
Costochondral joint ( Costo- = Rib, Chondro- = Cartilage) - these joints 'articulate' the ribs with the costal cartilage of the thoracic wall. However, there is no movement between the two.The Structural Classification for this joint is; Cartilaginous (Synchodrosis).The Functional Classification for this joint is; Synarthrosis.
The neck contains several types of joints, including the atlas and axis vertebrae which form the atlantoaxial joint allowing for rotation and nodding movements, as well as synovial joints between the cervical vertebrae that allow for flexion, extension, and lateral bending. Additionally, there are joints between the sternocleidomastoid muscles and the skull which allow for head rotation and tilting movements.
