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.
What is the most freely movable joint in the body?
fingers
Do synovial joints permit little movement of the articulating bones?
No, synovial joints joints are freely movable joints. There are six types of synovial joints: gliding (arthrodial), hinge (ginglymus), pivot (trochoid), ellipsoid, saddle, and ball and socket.
Where is sandoval fluid in the human body?
Synovial fluid fills the area near a Synovial joint. The fluid is stringy and has egg like consistency. It lubricates the motion of the bones forming the joint. Other types of joints are cartilaginous joints and fibrous joints. Synovial joints themselves are of various types - such as gliding, hinge, pivot, saddle, ball and socket.
What kind of synovial joint is a multiaxial joint?
Ball-and-Socket Joints
What type of joints are the hips and the shoulders?
Hip and shoulder are both Ball and Socket Joints
Is it just ball and socket joints which are synovial?
No. Typically any joint that is freely movable is synovial. Joints that do not move, like the sutures of the skull, are not synovial.

What synovial joints are used for front crawl in swimming?
The synovial joint used here in the upper body is the shoulder which is a ball and socket joint.In the lower body the hips and knee's are used which is a ball and socket joint and a compound joint.
Which joint is called a hinge joint the hip knee shoulder or neck joint?
No of the joints listed are hinge joints; joints that allow only abduction and adduction. The knee is a synovial pivotal hinge The hip is a synovial ball and socket The shoulder is a synovial ball and socket The neck is complex combination of joints between the occipital bone and C1 - synovial condyloid; the C1 and C2 - synovial pivotal; and the C2 and C3, C3 and C4, C4 and C5, C5 and C6, C6 and C7, C7 to T1 - all cartilaginous symphysis
