Joint is a point in the skeleton where bones meet. When these joints are able to move then they are known as movable joints. Such movable joints make skeleton flexible. Ex- synovial joints.

Name of the synovial joint	Definition	Example
Condyloid joint	This type of joint permits movement without rotation	Jaw and finger joints
Saddle joint	This type of joint permits movement back and forth and from side to side	Joints present at the base of the thumb
Hinge joint	The joint permits two bones to open and close in one direction only	Joint of knee and elbow
Pivot joint	In this joint one bone swivels around the ring formed by another bone	Joint present between the first and second vertebrae in the neck
Gliding joint/plane joint	In this joint smooth surfaces slip over one another	Wrist joint
