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 A. Gliding Movement-Is the simplest kind that can occur at a joint. -One surface moves back and forth and from side to side over another surface without angular or rotary motion. Examples: Joints between carpals and between tarsals. B. Angular Movement-Increases or decreases the angle between bones.Examples are: (i) Flexion-Involves a decrease in the angle between the surfaces of the articulating bones. Examples: Bending the head forward (the joint is between the occipital bone and the atlas); bending the elbow; and bending the knee.ypes of Movements A.
