The human body contains six types of synovial joints: Hinge: A hinge joint is very movable in one direction like a door hinge. Ball and socket: The ball of one bone fits into a socket of another bone. Saddle: Concave surfaces of the bones articulate with one another. Gliding: Flat surfaces of the bones glide past one another. Ellipsoid: This is a reduced ball and socket. Pivot: A ring of bone articulates with a post of bone.
