What are the 3 joint types?
Ball and socket
Hinge
Condyloid
What is the ball and socket joint?
The rounded end of one bone fits into a cup like end of the other bone
What is the hinge joint?
The convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of the other bone
What is the condyloid joint?
Similar to ball and socket but the curved surfaces are much flatter
What position is the sagittal plane?
+body movement

Forwards and backwards
What position is the transverse plane?
+body movement
Divides body top and bottom
Rotational
What position is the frontal plane?
+body movement
Divides body front and back
Right and left lateral
