What type of movement does the joint planar allows?

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.

Which terms refers to bones that slide along each other?

The term that refers to bones sliding along each other is "gliding joint." This type of joint allows for limited motion in multiple directions.


Which joint is present in the neck region?

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.


What is the type of joint for turning movements?

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.

Why do you have a gliding joint?

This joint allows for slight movement. A good example are most of the spinal vertebrae. A person with more movement would be rather unstable.

An a example of a Slightly moveable joint?

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
