Synovial joint classifications
About this episode
This episode discusses the classification of synovial joints based on their shapes and allowed movements.
Synovial joints are specialised for movement. The shapes of the articulating surfaces define what movements are allowed, and we can anatomically classify synovial joints by these shapes and by these movements. We have hinge, ball and socket, plane, saddle and condyloid synovial joints.
