Synovial joints are the most common
and movable type of joint in the human
body. They are characterized by the
presence of a fluid-filled joint cavity
that allows for smooth movement.

It consists of a spherical head fitting into
a cup-like socket, allowing movement in
multiple planes.
Example: shoulder joint (between the
humerus and scapula) and hip joint
(between the femur and pelvis).

SYNOVIAL JOINTS
Hinge joints allow movement in one plane
(like a door hinge), permitting flexion and
extension movements. 
Example: elbow joint (between the
humerus and ulna) and knee joint (between
the femur and tibia).

SYNOVIAL JOINTS
Pivot joints are a type of synovial joint that
allow rotational movement around a central
axis.
Example: the atlantoaxial (between the first and
second cervical vertebrae) and the proximal
radioulnar (allowing rotation of the forearm).
