What is the knee joint?
The knee joint consists of the tibiofemoral joint and the patellofemoral joint. It is a combination of hinge and gliding joints, respectively. It is also in a class called freely movable joints, which are also called synovial, or diarthrotic joints.
What joint is found in the knee?
The knee actually has two joints. One is called the tibiofemoral joint and is between the thigh bone (femur) and the main shin bone (tibia). The other joint is formed by the thigh bone and the knee cap (patella) and is called the patellofemoral joint. The class of joints that these form are called synovial, or freely moving joints. The specific types are: tibiofemoral joint = hinge joint and the patellofemoral joint = gliding joint.
Is the patellofemoral joint in the knee joint?
it is not really a joint but protects the HINGE joint at tibia and femur
What type of joint is the wrist?
The Condyloid joint
What type of joint is the acromioclavicular joint?
The acromioclavicular joint is a plane, or gliding, joint.

What does patellofemoral mean?
Patellofemoral means related to the joint between the kneecap and thighbone.
What type of joint is the wrist?
The Condyloid joint
What are two different joints found in the knee including the bone marking and movements produced by these movements?
The two joints are the tibiofemoral and the patellofemoral joints. The tibiofemoral joint is formed by the distal end of the femur particularly the lateral and medial femoral condyles, and the proximal end of the tibia particularly the lateral and medial tibial plateaus. Movements available at this joint are flexion & extension, internal & external rotation. The patellofemoral joint is formed by the articulation between the trochlea of the femur and the articular surfaces of the patella. Movements available at this joint are basically gliding movements that accompany tibiofemoral joint movements, namely; superior, inferior, lateral & medial gliding.
What type of joint is the acromioclavicular joint?
The acromioclavicular joint is a plane, or gliding, joint.
What type of joint is in the spinal column?
Secondary cartilaginous joints. GLIDING
What joint is the toe?
Gliding joint.
Where in the body can you find an gliding joint?
you can find a gliding joint in maybe your skull and your spine
What joint is found in the wrist?
gliding joint
