Gliding joints are found between vertebrae except for the first two which have a pivoit joint.
what type of joint is between bodies of vertebrae ? cartilaginous joint
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.
Pivot joint formed between the atlas and the axis (first two vertebrae)
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint. The joints between the skull plates are fused joints (no movement).
An articulation between a vertebrae and a rib
pivot
ball and socket
There is only one pivot joint in the body and it is located in the neck. It is the joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae also known as atlas and axis respectively. Axis has a the "peg" part of the pivot projecting upwards and atlas has the hole around it. This is the joint that allows the heart to rotate left to right.There are two pivot joints. One between C1 and C2 of the vertebrae. The second in the forearm between the ulna and radius.
These joints are called synchondrosis joints. These are a type of cartilaginous joint.
