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.

There are many different classes of synovial joints in the body, including gliding, hinge, saddle, and ball and socket joints. 1  Gliding joints, such as the ones between the carpals of the wrist, are found where bones meet as flat surfaces and allow for the bones to glide past one another in any direction.oints may be classified functionally based upon how much movement they allow. 1  A joint that permits no movement is known as a synarthrosis. 2  The sutures of the skull and the gomphoses that connect the teeth to the skull are examples of synarthroses. 3  An amphiarthrosis allows a slight amount of movement at the joint.
