Explanation:

Synovial joints are classified into several types based on their structure and movement. Pivot joints (e.g., atlanto - axial joint), hinge joints (e.g., elbow joint), and gliding joints (e.g., intercarpal joints) are well - known types of synovial joints. However, "stirrup" is not a type of synovial joint. The stirrup (stapes) is one of the small bones (ossicles) in the middle ear.
