Question 14

gliding joint

Answer 14

uniaxial, z-joint inter-carpal. planar

Question 15

hinge joint

Answer 15

uniaxial, a concave surface glides around a convex surface allowing for flexion/extension. ginglymus

pivot joint

Answer 16

uniaxial, rotation around a vertical or long axis is allowed. trochoid

Question 17

condyloid joint

Answer 17

biaxial; oval articular surface with an elliptical cavity to permit flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and circumduction but not axial rotation. ellipsoidal
