#synovial_joint__articulatio_synovialis a freely movable joint
supertype: articulatio__joint__articulation (anatomy) the point of connection between two bones or elements of a skeleton (especially if the articulation allows motion)
subtype: mandibular_joint__temporomandibular_joint__temporomandibularjoint__articulatio_temporomandibularis__articulatiotemporomandibulari the joint between the head of the lower jawbone and the temporal bone
subtype: gliding_joint__glidingjoint__articulatio_plana__articulatioplana a freely moving joint in which the articulations allow only gliding motions
subtype: ankle_joint__ankle__mortise_joint__mortisejoint__articulatio_talocruralis a gliding joint between the distal ends of the tibia and fibula and the proximal end of the talus
subtype: wrist_joint__wristjoint__wrist__carpus__radiocarpal_joint__radiocarpaljoint__articulatio_radiocarpea__articulatioradiocarpea a joint between the distal end of the radius and the proximal row of carpal bones
subtype: hinge_joint__ginglymus__ginglymoid_joint a freely moving joint in which the bones are so articulated as to allow extensive movement in one plane
subtype: knee_joint__knee__articulatio_genus__articulatiogenu hinge joint in the human leg connecting the tibia and fibula with the femur and protected in front by the patella
subtype: elbow_joint__elbowjoint__elbow__cubitus__cubitu__cubital_joint__cubitaljoint__articulatio_cubiti__articulatiocubiti hinge joint between the forearm and upper arm and the corresponding joint in the forelimb of a quadruped

subtype: spheroid_joint__ball-and-socket_joint__cotyloid_joint__enarthrodial_joint__enarthrosis__enarthrosi__articulatio_spheroidea__articulatiospheroidea a freely moving joint in which a sphere on the head of one bone fits into a rounded cavity in the other bone
subtype: shoulder_joint__shoulder__articulatio_humeri__articulatiohumeri a ball-and-socket joint between the head of the humerus and a cavity of the scapula
subtype: hip_joint__hipjoint__hip__coxa__articulatio_coxae__articulatiocoxae the ball-and-socket joint between the head of the femur and the acetabulum
subtype: pivot_joint__pivotjoint__rotary_joint__rotatory_joint__articulatio_trochoidea__articulatiotrochoidea a freely moving joint in which movement is limited to rotation; "the articulation of the radius and ulna in the arm is a pivot joint"
