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.

Shape of synovial joint: condyloid joint. knuckle-like -egg shapped articular surface of one bone fits into an oval concavity in another-allow 2 types of movement-back and forth (flexion-extension) -side to side (abduction-adduction) bone cannot rotate around its long axis-biaxial (movement occurs around two axes).contained in synovial joints-disc of fibrocartilage-occur in the temporomandibular (jaw) joint, stenoclavicular joint, knee joint, more-occurs in joints where articulating bone ends have different shapes-allow two different movements at the same time.
