Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The saddle joint allows for movement in two planes, much like a saddle on a horse's back where one can move forwards and backwards as well as side to side. The joint between the trapezium bone of the wrist and the first metacarpal bone of the thumb is an example of a saddle joint, allowing the thumb its wide range of motion.
