- Hinge joints: allow movement in one direction, as seen in the knees and elbows.
- Pivot joints: allow a rotating or twisting motion, like that of the head moving from side to side.
- Ball-and-socket joints: allow the greatest freedom of movement. The hips and shoulders have this type of joint, in which the round end of a long bone fits into the hollow of another bone.
