Answer 1

The answer is gliding movement. The intercarpal joints are the articulations in the middle of the individual carpal bones. They are also known as plane synovial joints. This is one example of a gliding joint. These allow the bones to glide past one another in any course along the plane of the joint – up and down, left and right, and crosswise.
