Joints are anywhere the bones in the skeleton are connected in a way that allow them to move separately:

  • The knee, ankle and elbow are all hinges. The base of the skull is a fixed joint. The neck is a pivot joint. Fingers have hinge joints, the thumb is a ball-and-socket along with the shoulder and hips.
  • The thumb joint is a saddle joint, much like a ball and socket joint.

semi-mobile joint, like the ribs
