Question
Read the following descriptions of synovial joints, then click and drag them into the correct box to identify which type ofs each represents. This is biaxial joint, in which both bones are concave in one direction and convex in the other. This joint is described as adjacent bones that slide over each other with relatively limited movement. This is a multiaxial joint. This is a biaxial joint with an oval convex surtace on one bone that fits into a concave depression on the other. This is a monaxial joint, in which a bone spins on its longitudinal axis. This is a monaxial joint, moving freely in one plane with very little movement in any other.

Explanation / Answer
Saddle Joint drag on This is a biaxial joint in which both bones are concave in one direction and covex in other direction.
Eg. Thumb joint
Plane Joint: This joint is described as adjacent bones that slide over each other with relatively limited movement.
This joint is also called as gliding joint.
Eg.Rotatory joint at veretebra
Ball and socket joint is mutiaxial joint.
Eg,Femur and acetabulum cavity joint
Condylar joint: This is biaxial joint oval convex surface on one bone that fits into a cocave depression on the other.
Eg.At the wrist, connecting the radius and carpal bones,and at the base of the index finger.
Hinge joint: Monoaxial joint, moving freely in one plane with little movement in any other plane.
Eg.The knee and ankle joints
Pivot joint: Monoaxial joint in which a bone spins on its longitudinal axis
eg. Joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae (the atlas and axis).
