The six major types of synovial joints are. ball-and-socket, condyloid, gliding, hinge, pivot, and saddle.

A synovial joint, also known as diarthrosis, is the most common and most movable type of joint in the body of a mammal. As with most other joints, synovial joints achieve movement at the point of contact of the articulating bones.Structural and functional differences distinguish synovial joints from cartilaginous joints (synchondroses and symphyses) and fibrous joints (sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses).any, but not all, synovial joints also contain additional structures: 1  Articular discs or menisci-the fibrocartilage pads between opposing surfaces in a joint. 2  Articular fat pads-adipose tissue pads that protect the articular cartilage, as seen in the infrapatellar fat pad in the knee.
