The second through fourth metacarpophalangeal joints are condyloid joints. The first metacarpophalangeal joint is a saddle joint.

The carpus is distal to the scapulohumeral joint. In other words, your wrist is further away from the mid-line of your body than the joint between your shoulder and humerus. proximal: close to body distal: further from body

The proximal end of the clavicle attaches to the manubrium of the sternum. This joint is called the acromiovlavicular joint.
The proximal and distal phalanges only meet in the first digits (the thumbs and the big tues). This joint is the first interphalangeal joint.

It is known as the thumb basal joint, also known as the carpometacarpal joint. It is a special saddle-shaped joint that is formed by the small wrist bone and the first of the three bones in the thumb.
The hock of the cat is located between the tibia, or shin, and the talus bone, which is a bone of the paw. The cat's hock joint is comparable to a human ankle joint.
