A pivot joint is a type of synovial joint that allows for rotational movement around a single axis. In relation to the sternum, the pivot joint is exemplified by the atlantoaxial joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae (the atlas and axis), which allows for head rotation. While the sternum itself does not form a pivot joint, the movement of the cervical spine, including the pivot action, can affect the overall posture and alignment of the thoracic region to which the sternum is attached.

No, the Humeroscapular Joint is a ball and socket joint. Although shallow the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity of the Scapula. This is one of the reasons that shoulder dislocations are so common. The other being the lack of support at the inferior portion of the joint.

Gliding joint.
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).

I don't know! Ask someone else!!!!!!! GAWD! The wrist is a gliding joint.
A gliding joint, also known as a plane joint, can be found in various locations in the body such as the wrists, ankles, and spine. These joints allow for smooth, gliding movements between the bones involved.

The neck is indeed a gliding joint. This is because it does not have to move in rigid movements in any particular direction.
Yes, the patellofemoral joint is considered a gliding joint. This joint allows for gliding and sliding movements between the patella (kneecap) and the femur, facilitating the extension and flexion of the knee.
