the joint that joins the skull to the first vertebra
pivotal
The very best example of a pivot joint is the axis and atlas in the spinal column. This involves the very first two vertebra which allow you to turn your head from side to side.
hinge joints that allow movement in one plane, such as bending and straightening.
A pivot joint allows movement around the joint. The movement is a pivot or turning. A pivot joint is found between the first and second vertebral joint. This allows you to turn your head.A pivot joint can make a rapid turning motion. When you look from one side to the other side you are making a pivotal movement.

Ball-and-socket joint is an example of triaxial (or multiaxial) joint.
The space between skull and first vertebrae would have a pivotal joint.
The knee is not a fixed joint it is a pivotal hinge joint; they are completely different a fixed joint barely moves where as a pivotal hinge joint moves in four directions.
hinge joints that allow movement in one plane, such as bending and straightening.
The very best example of a pivot joint is the axis and atlas in the spinal column. This involves the very first two vertebra which allow you to turn your head from side to side.
pivotal hinge joint that allows flexion, extension as well as slight medial and lateral movement.
pivotal hinge joint or synovial diarthrodial biaxial joint
The knee is a mobile trocho-ginglymus joint (a pivotal hinge joint).
Gliding joint Ball and socket joint Pivotal joint Hinge joint
