The movements of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction are possible together with a small amount of rotation. Types of joints:Fibrous joints (e.g., Sutures of the vault of the skull, inferior tibiofibular joints)Cailaginous joints (e.g., Symphysis pubis)Synol jointsPlane joints (e.g., Sternoclavicular and acromioclavicular joints)Hinge joints (e.g., Elbow, knee, ankle)Pivot joints (e.g., Atlantoaxial and superior radio ulnar joints)Condyloid joints (e.g., Metacarpophalangeal joints)Ellipsoid joints (e.g., Wrist)Saddle joints (e.g., Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb)Ball-and-socket joints (e.g., Shoulder and hip joints)
