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.

3. Describe the structure and functions of the two types of cartilaginous joints. 4. Describe the structure of synovial joints. 5. Describe the structure and function of bursae and tendon sheaths. 6. Describe the six subtypes of synovial joints. 7. Describe the types of movements that can occur at synovial joints. 8.rthrology. is the study of joints; kinesiology. is the study of motion of the body. 3. Structural characteristics of a specific joint affect the strength, magnitude of movement, and types of movement that may occur at a specific joint.
