Answer:
Allows rotational movement ----> Pivot joint
Allows no movement ----->suture joint
Allows side to side movement -----> gliding joint
Allows back and forth movement ----> hinge joint
Explanation :
- A connection between two bones is known as a joint or articulation. In each joint three things are found: the surface of the bone, joint cavity and, joint capsule.
- There are many types of joints in our body and, they are found in different locations such as elbow, knee etc.
- Some of the joints are discussed below:
- Pivot joint - It is a type of synovial joint as it has a covering of synovial capsule over it. It is located in the atlas and axis bones and, its function is to allow the rotation of the neck.
- Suture joint - It is a type of fibrous joint. It is located in the skull and does not allow any kind of movement.
- Gliding joint - it is also a type of synovial joint usually found between bones having flat surfaces. It is usually found between carpals and metacarpals, tarsal bones of ankles etc.
- Hinge joint - Hinge joint is again a type of synovial joint. In this type of joint, the articular surfaces are joint in such a way that the movement occurs only in one direction. It is located in the elbow, knee, and ankle.
