The condyloid joint is found at the wrist. It allows movement in two planes; this is called biaxial. It allows you to bend and straighten the joint. and move from side to side. The joints between the metacarpals and phalanges are also condyloid.

What type of joint is the wrist?
The Condyloid joint
What kind of synovial joint is a multiaxial joint?
Ball-and-Socket Joints
What is a condyloid joint in the skeleton?
A condyloid joint is the junction of two bones where a somewhat rounded end on one bone fits loosely into an elliptical cavity on the other bone and allows movement in two directions. An example is the wrist joint.
What is a condyloid joint?
A condyloid joint is in the jaw and fingers. It can move side to side front to back but it can't rotate.
What is the example of condyloid joint?
multiaxial joint
Joints between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?
Metacarpophalangeal joint. A condyloid type of joint.
Is the condyloid joint ellipsoidal?
yes.
What is an example of a condyloid joint that is not in the human body?
biaxial joint

The Condyloid joint
What type of joint is the metacrophalangeal joint?
Metacarpophalangeal joint is Angular joint (also known as ellipsoid or condyloid joint).
What allows thee wrist to rotate?
A condyloid joint!
What kind of synovial joint is a multiaxial joint?
Ball-and-Socket Joints
Are ellipsoid joints the same as condyloid joints?
no it is not. A condyloid joint is more like the ball and socket joint, but more slight. A saddle joint is two concave surfaces on top of each other, like a saddle
Example of a gliding joint?
An example of a condyloid joint is the metacarpophalangeal joint. Where the metacarpal meets the phalange is an example of a condyloid joint. The meet and allow the finger flexion and extension.
