The interphalangeal joints in the fingers are synovial hinge joints. The thumb metacarpal is a saddle joint. The metacarpo-phalangeal joints are synovial ellipsoid joints.
When you move your lower jaw forward, the joint movement involved is primarily a combination of hinge (rotation) and sliding (translation) movements at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This allows for the smooth opening and closing of the mouth.
The first knuckle on your finger is typically considered to be the knuckle closest to your hand, where the finger meets the palm.
Hinges joints only allow movement in two directions, which are forward and backward. Knees and elbows are examples of hinge joints.
