Pivot joint Pivot joint In animal anatomy, a pivot joint (trochoid joint, rotary joint, lateral ginglymus) is a type of synovial joint. In pivot joints, the axis of a convex articular surface is parallel with the longitudinal axis of the bone. According to one classification system, a pivot joint like the other synovial joint —the hinge joint has one degree of freedom. Note that the degrees of freedom of a joint is not the same as the same as joint's range of motion. Pivot joints allow for rotation, which can be external (for example when rotating an arm outward), or internal (as
Pivot table it will summarize the fact, the quantities of "Unit", and display them in a multidimensional chart. In the example above, the first datum is 66. This number was obtained by finding all records where both "Region" was "East" and "Ship Date" was "1/31/2005", and adding the "Units" of that collection of records ("i.e.", cells E2 to E7) together to get a final result.
