Gliding Joint

An arthrodic joint is a type of synovial joint that allows bones to slide against each other but not rotate. This type of joint allows limited movement in one plane.

The flat joints occur between the carpal bones, tarsal bones of the foot, vertebrae and ribs. These joints contain articular surfaces covered with hyaline cartilage, a joint capsule, and synovial fluid that lubricates the joint and reduces friction during movement.

With the help of flat joints, small sliding movements are carried out, for example, sliding the bones of the wrist and foot relative to each other. These movements are important for performing small and precise actions with the hands and feet.

The joint is flat articulating

Description

The flat-edged joint is the morphological basis of the joint. Thus, this term can be used to refer to two fundamentally different types of joints -

-- Shoulder (since it is a relatively flat surface). -- Knee (due to its wider articular surface). Thus, the terms differ in their meaning, and therefore it is incorrect to apply them to one joint.
