The six major types of synovial joints are. ball-and-socket, condyloid, gliding, hinge, pivot, and saddle. A ball-and-socket joint consists of a. bone with a globular head that articulates with a cup-shaped cavity of another bone. A ball-and-socket joint allows a. wider range of motion than any other type of joint.
There are three types of joints based upon the type of tissues that connect the bones. Synovial joints generally have the greatest range of movement. In a synovial joint, the bone ends are covered with cartilage. Tough, fibrous tissue encloses the area between the bone ends and is called the joint capsule. Ligaments, which are also made of tough, fibrous tissue help hold the bones in alignment.
