Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A condyloid joint is a type of synovial joint that allows for movement in two planes, or axes, known as a biaxial joint. The joint is formed by the articulation of an oval-shaped condyle of one bone with an elliptical cavity of another bone. Examples of condyloid joints include the knuckles and the temporomandibular joint in the jaw. Pivot joints allow for rotation around a single axis, hinge joints allow for movement in one plane, and ball and socket joints allow for a wide range of movement in multiple axes.
