ginglymus joint
hinge: joints move only in there sagittal plane, flexion/extension, uniaxial. Ex: fetlock, elbow
plane joints
slight gliding movement between flat surfaces, multiaxial. Ex: carpal, cranial/caudal articulations between vertebrae
trochoid joints
pivot, uniaxial. NO joint (Atlanto-axial)
spheroid joint
ball and socket, universal movement, Ex: shoulder, hip
