Solution

To identify the three types of synovial joints, let's analyze the options provided.

Types of Joints

  1. Plane joints: These joints allow for sliding or gliding movements and are found between flat surfaces. An example is the joints between the carpal bones of the wrist.

  2. Ball-and-socket joints: These joints permit rotational movement and a wide range of motion in multiple directions. Examples include the shoulder and hip joints.

  3. Condylar joints (or ellipsoidal joints): These joints allow movement but within two planes, permitting flexion, extension, and some rotation. A notable example is the joint between the forearm and the wrist.

Non-Synovial Joints

  1. Suture: These are immovable joints found in the skull and are classified as fibrous joints, not synovial.

  2. Gomphosis: This is a type of fibrous joint where teeth are anchored to the jaw, also not a synovial joint.

  3. Symphysis: This is a type of cartilaginous joint found between certain bones, not a synovial joint.

Final Answer

The correct options for types of synovial joints are:

  1. Plane
  2. Ball-and-socket
  3. Condylar

So, the answer is: Plane, Ball-and-socket, Condylar.
