JOINTS

joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement. Every bone in the body – except for the hyoid bone in the throat – meets up with at least one other bone at a joint. The shape of a joint depends on its function. A joint is also known as an articulation.

Hinge joints. ...
Pivot joints. ...
Ellipsoidal joints.

Identify
Ball-and-socket joints are found in the shoulder joints and hip joints. Hinge joints are found in the knee and elbow joints. The only rotational joints exist between the radius and ulna, allowing for pronation and supination. Suture joints are used to fuse bones together, and can be found in the skull.Four main types
