Skeletal joints. Artwork of the different types of joint found in the human body. Joints are lubricated surfaces of fibrous connective tissue and cartilage between bones that facilitate movement. Left to right: hinge joint ( elbow), pivot joint ( atlas joint, between the neck bone and skull), ellipsoid joint ( wrist), ball-and-socket joint ( shoulder), and a condyloid joint ( between the bones of the hand). Arrows indicate the direction of movement of the joint.
