CAMP FOSTER, Okinawa â The U.S. Navy hospital on Camp Lester was built at the height of the Cold War, a time when the U.S. military ran the island under an occupation government and issued its own yen currency for G.I.s to spend off base.
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.

Types of Movements of the Joints. 1  Flexion and Extension â Extension occurs when the surfaces get farther apart and the bones straighten. 2  Flexion results in a decrease of the angle at the joint and brings the bones closer together. 3  They occur in the sagittal plane around a frontal coronal axis. Abduction and Adduction â frontal plane movements around a sagittal axis occur at multiaxial joints like the bal and socket joint of the shoulder or ellipsoid joints. 2  Abduction is movement away from the midline of the trunk of the body. 3  Adduction is movement medically toward the midline of the body.
