list the various types of joints depending on their movement?
There are
1. Gomphosis joints which are peg-in-socket fibrous joints. little movement. Example: attachment of tooth to bony socket.
2. Syndesmoses joints: two bones are bound by ligament only. Most moveable of fibrous joints.
3. Synchondroses joints: When bones are held together by hyaline cartilage. Example is rib being attached to sternum.
4. Ball and socket joints: Example would be head inside a cuplick depression. Head of femur into acetabulum of hip bone.
5. Hinge Joint: One bone that fits into a depression. Example: Finger and toe joints.
6. Saddle Joints: Each articular surface is shaped like a saddle. Example is trapeziometacarpal joint at the base of the thumb.
7. Symphyses: 2 bones joined by fibrocartilage. Pubic symphysis on pubic bone is an example.
8. Bony joints (Synostoses): 2 bones fused by osseous tissue: left and right mandible present at birth.
9. Synovial joints: Joint where two bones are separated by fluid filled space called a joint cavity.
10. Pivot joints: One bone has a projection that fits into a ringlike ligament of another. Examples are dens and axis.
11. Condyloid (ellipsoid) joints: oval convex surface on one bone fits into a similarly shaped depression on the next bone.
12. Gliding joints: Flat articular surface in which bones slide over each other.
Some types of anatomical joints include ball-and-socket joints (like the hip joint), hinge joints (like the elbow joint), pivot joints (like the joint between the first two vertebrae), and gliding joints (like the joints in the wrist).
Joints are anatomical parts that allow movement between bones. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments are also involved in facilitating movement by connecting and mobilizing different parts of the body. The spine is another example, with its vertebrae allowing for various types of movement such as bending, twisting, and extending.
Synovial joints, such as the shoulder and hip joints, have the greatest range of motion and allow for full movement. These joints are surrounded by a synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid to lubricate and reduce friction during movement.
The limbs are joined to the torso through joints such as the shoulder and hip joints. These joints provide mobility and allow for movement of the limbs in different directions.
Functions in movement refer to the ways in which our muscles, joints, and nervous system work together to produce and control bodily motion. These functions include activities like generating force, coordinating multiple muscle groups, maintaining balance, and adapting to changes in the environment. Movement is a complex process that involves a variety of systems and functions working together seamlessly.

If all your joints were ball and socket joints, you would find movement and stable posture difficult. Joints have the structures they do to facilitate many functions, including stability, protection, and movement.

The two main functions of joints are for support and movement. Joints allow you to move your body and to support it and hold the bones together.
The anatomical structures designed to cushion joints is the cartialge. The combining form is chrondr/o
cartilage
The knuckles are joints in the fingers and can be seen when one clenches their hand in a fist. The functions of the knuckles is to allow for bending and movement of the digits.
Pivotal joints allow for rotation around a central axis, such as the neck and forearm, enabling movements like rotation and turning. These joints are crucial for activities such as nodding the head, twisting the forearm, or shaking the head.
Diarthrotic joints have free movement e.g. synovial joints of knee, elbow, shoulder synarthrotic = no movement eg skull plates (yes they are a type of joint strangely enough) amphiarthrotic = some movement eg intervertebral discs
Synovial joints, such as the shoulder and hip joints, have the greatest range of motion and allow for full movement. These joints are surrounded by a synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid to lubricate and reduce friction during movement.
Producing movement, maintaining posture, stabilizing joints, generating heat
The two main functions of joints are to provide movement and flexibility to the body by enabling bones to articulate and move relative to each other, and to provide stability and support to the skeleton by connecting bones together.
