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.

Synovial joints, sometimes called diarthrosis, are the most movable type of joint in the body. Joints are formed where bones come together. In this lesson, we'll explore the six types of synovial joints and discuss their functions.s shown on this illustration, the six types of synovial joints include the pivot, hinge, saddle, plane, condyloid, and ball-and-socket joints. These joints are found throughout the body; however some locations serve as better examples than others. To begin our investigation, let's focus on the pivot joints.
