There are six types of synovial joints: gliding, condoloid, saddle, hinge, ball and socket, and pivot joints. Gliding joints allow for smooth movement in several directions along a plane or other smooth surface.The articulation is like two plates sliding across each other. An example would be the carpal bones of the wrist, which form a gliding synovial joint.liding joints allow for smooth movement in several directions along a plane or other smooth surface.

Types of Synovial Joints. The many synovial joints of the human body enable movement of various types, largely based on their shape. For example, the elbow and knees joints are classified as hinge joints and act like the hinges of a door, with one bone remaining stationary and the other bone moving along a single axis. The highly movable ball-and-socket joints of the shoulder and hip allow movement in all directions.
