A ball and socket joint allows twisting and turning side to side. It humans this would be the hip joint
A Planar joint is also known as a gliding joint, and allows sliding or back and forth motions as well as twisting movements.Examples of Planar joints are in the wrists and ankles, and the joints between the vertebrae in the spine.
Your sliding joint allows your spine to bending or stretching
The term that refers to bones sliding along each other is "gliding joint." This type of joint allows for limited motion in multiple directions.
The joint between the skull (occipital bone) and first vertebrae (atlas) is a condyloid joint (the condyles are on the occipital bone). This joint allows your head to lean forward and backward. The joint between the first vertebrae and second vertebrae (axis) is a pivot joint, which allows you to turn your head to look left or look right. (The pivot is the dens of the axis.) The other intervertebral joints I do not think fall into a clear classification, although whatever text you are using might try to put them into one category or the other for illustrative purposes. The whole column is basically held together by many ligaments, with discs between each vertebrae, which allows for a wide range of motion. The sacral and coccygeal joints, however, are fused.
The type of joint that allows for turning movements is called a pivot joint. An example of a pivot joint is the atlantoaxial joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae, which enables the head to rotate. Another example is the proximal radioulnar joint, which allows for the rotation of the forearm. These joints facilitate rotational motion around a single axis.
This is called a gliding joint.ball and socket
There are two places where sliding joints can be found: between the vertebrae and in the wrist.
A Planar joint is also known as a gliding joint, and allows sliding or back and forth motions as well as twisting movements.Examples of Planar joints are in the wrists and ankles, and the joints between the vertebrae in the spine.
Your sliding joint allows your spine to bending or stretching
The cervical(neck) vertebrae. The joint formed by C1 and C2, also known as the atlas and axis.
The type of joint found between the first and second vertebrae of the neck region, or the backbone, is called the atlantoaxial joint. It allows for rotation and flexion of the neck.
An articulation between a vertebrae and a rib
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.
The atlantoxial joint is formed by the first and second cervical vertebrae, known as the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) respectively. It allows for rotational movement of the head.
This joint allows for slight movement. A good example are most of the spinal vertebrae. A person with more movement would be rather unstable.
The term that refers to bones sliding along each other is "gliding joint." This type of joint allows for limited motion in multiple directions.
an example of a slightly moveable joint would be the sternoclavicular joint. This is the joint between your collarbone and your sternum (chest). There is some movement at this joint, which is what allows you to shrug or straighten your shoulders, but not nearly as much as one would find in the elbow or hip joints
