∙ 11y agoThe skeletal system has different functions, allowing the body to move in different directions and indifferent planes. For example, our opposing thumbs allow us to grasp an manipulate objects rather than simply have a paw such as a dog or cat does. Ankles and feet joints can move in directions to accommodate uneven surfaces on which we walk, and whether moving sideways, forward or backward. Basically, the joints allow multiple functions.

What joints have full movement?
The joints in the body that have the most movement are called synovial joints, or freely moving joints. Technically they are classified as diarthrotic joints. The difference between synovial joints and the other types of joints is that they contain a synovial sheath that supplies them with synovium, a lubricating fluid. Of the six different types of synovial joints the ball-and-socket joints have the greatest amount of movement. The four ball-and-socket joints in the human body are the ileofemoral joints, hip joints, and the glenohumeral joints, the shoulders.
