TYPES OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS: CONDYLOID JOINT ✌️ This is our 4th post in the series of synovial joints. Today is about the Condyloid joint (AKA ellipsoid joint), which includes a convex surface that articulates with a concave elliptical cavity. The biaxial condyloid joints permit all angular motions: Flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, and circumduction. Examples of this form of articulation are found in the following: 🔸Hand: metacarpophalangeal joint. 🔹Wrist: radiocarpal joint. 🔸Foot

This time, let's see what happens beneath the skin when we make a fist!💡 The metacarpophalangeal joint initiates the action, followed by flexion in the proximal interphalangeal joints and distal interphalangeal joints, bringing the hand into a fist and showcasing the incredible flexibility and coordination within our hands.
