what type of joint is the atlanto occipital
Atlanto-occipital joint The atlanto-occipital joint (articulation between the atlas and the occipital bone) consists of a pair of condyloid joints. The atlanto-occipital joint is a synovial joint.
Elbow The elbow includes prominent landmarks such as the olecranon (the bony prominence at the very tip of the elbow), the elbow pit, the lateral and medial epicondyles, and the elbow joint. The name for the elbow in Latin is cubitus, and so the word cubital is used in some elbow-related terms, as in cubital nodes for example. The elbow is specific to humans and other primates.[1] The elbow joint[2] is the synovial hinge joint[3] between the humerus in the upper arm and the radius and ulna in the forearm which allows the forearm and hand to be moved towards and away from the body.[4] The superior radioulnar joint shares the joint capsule with the elbow joint but plays no functional role at the elbow.[5]
