Question

In a couple of sentences, describe the differences between gliding and condyloid joints and name the body part where both joints can be found. (Site 1)

Answer 1

A condyloid joint is oval-shaped, one bone fits into the cavity of another bone, it allows for up and down motion and some side to side motion but no rotation. An example would be the wrist or base of fingers. A gliding joint is when two flat bones with ligaments glide against each other. An example of this would be the tiny bones in your wrist.

Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is: The part of the body they are in is in the hands and wrist.

Explanation:

Various types of synovial joints.

A. Condilar (wrist). Condylar joint, in which a convex ellipsoid segment corresponds to an elliptical cavity. This allows movements of flexion, extension, abduction, adduction and circumduction, the rotation movement being impossible, they are biaxial, with two axes of movement.

B. Sliding (intercarpal). Intercarpal articulation, the joints between the carpal bones are supported by anterior, posterior and interosseous ligaments. The articular spaces are communicated with each other and functionally behave as a unit.

The part of the body they are in is in the hands and wrist.
