The cervical(neck) vertebrae. The joint formed by C1 and C2, also known as the atlas and axis.
There is only one pivot joint in the body and it is located in the neck. It is the joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae also known as atlas and axis respectively. Axis has a the "peg" part of the pivot projecting upwards and atlas has the hole around it. This is the joint that allows the heart to rotate left to right.There are two pivot joints. One between C1 and C2 of the vertebrae. The second in the forearm between the ulna and radius.
An articulation between a vertebrae and a rib
The atlantoxial joint is formed by the first and second cervical vertebrae, known as the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) respectively. It allows for rotational movement of the head.
The sacrum is connected to the upper vertebrae by the sacroiliac joint. This joint provides stability and allows for a small amount of movement in the pelvis. It is a strong joint that is supported by ligaments and muscles.
No, knee joint is a compound joint (condyloid joint between tibia and femur and saddle joint between femur and patella).Yes, there is a pivot joint in the knee. Pivot joints can also be found in a person's neck, forearms, and other parts of the body. This is because the pivot joint moves by rotating.The knee is mainly a hinge joint not a pivot joint.
The type of joint that allows for turning movements is called a pivot joint. An example of a pivot joint is the atlantoaxial joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae, which enables the head to rotate. Another example is the proximal radioulnar joint, which allows for the rotation of the forearm. These joints facilitate rotational motion around a single axis.
A ball and socket joint allows twisting and turning side to side. It humans this would be the hip joint
A condyloid joint!

This is called a gliding joint.ball and socket
The type of joint found between the first and second vertebrae of the neck region, or the backbone, is called the atlantoaxial joint. It allows for rotation and flexion of the neck.
Ball and socket joint as found in the hip and shoulder.
An articulation between a vertebrae and a rib
The atlantoxial joint is formed by the first and second cervical vertebrae, known as the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) respectively. It allows for rotational movement of the head.
This joint allows for slight movement. A good example are most of the spinal vertebrae. A person with more movement would be rather unstable.
A Planar joint is also known as a gliding joint, and allows sliding or back and forth motions as well as twisting movements.Examples of Planar joints are in the wrists and ankles, and the joints between the vertebrae in the spine.
