2 planes

Biaxial joints allow for movement in two planes or axes. A common example of a biaxial joint is the wrist, which allow for movement side to side, and also allows for movement up and down. It can be difficult to determine whether a joint is biaxial or multiaxial, because when the biaxial joint moves in both directions at the same time, it appears to have the multiaxial quality of being able to move in any plane or axes.
Biaxial joints allow movement in two planes. An example is the wrist joint, which enables flexion and extension (bending and straightening) as well as radial and ulnar deviation (side-to-side movement). Another example is the metacarpophalangeal joints (the knuckles), which allow for flexion/extension of the fingers and abduction/adduction (movement away from or towards the midline).
Flexion and extension are primarily movements observed in hinge joints and ball-and-socket joints. Hinge joints, such as the knee and elbow, allow for bending and straightening movements, while ball-and-socket joints, like the shoulder and hip, also permit these movements along with additional rotational capabilities. These movements are essential for various activities, including walking, reaching, and lifting.
Joints are located where two bones connect. They allow movement and provide mechanical support.
The only pivot joint in your body is between your cranium and spinal column. The toes are all sliding joints.

all joints permit a motion in some way except for the fixed/immovable joint like your scull.

The joints between the carpals (wrist bones) are called intercarpal joints, while the joints between the tarsals (ankle bones) are known as tarsal joints. These joints allow for movement and flexibility in the hands and feet.

An example of sliding joints in the human body is the intercarpal joints of the wrist. These joints allow for gliding movements between the individual carpal bones, providing flexibility and support during hand movements.
