This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Types of synovial joints, Type of synovial joints UNIAXIAL, Type of synovial joints Plane Joint-permits gliding or sliding movements (e.g. acromioclavicular joint), BIAXIAL Saddle Joints-shaped like saddle convex & concave where bones articulate (e.g. joint b/w metacarpal & Trapezium), UNIAXIAL Hinge Joints permit flexion and extension ONLY! (e.g. elbow joint), UNIAXIAL Pivot joints -allow rotation process fits into liganentous socket[C1] and axis[C2], BIAXIAL Condyloid Joints-permit flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, circumduction (e.g. metacarpophalangeal[knuckle] joints of fingers), MULTIAXIAL Ball & Socket Joint-permits movement in several axes (e.g. flexion-extension, abduction-adduction, medial/lateral rotation, circumduction) rounded head fits into concavity (e.g. hip joint), Type of synovial joints MULTIAXIAL, Type of synovial joints BIAXIAL
