Question

in a couple of sentences, describe the differences between gliding and condyloid joints and name the body part where both joints can be found.

Explanation:

Gliding joints allow bones to glide over each other for limited movement, like in wrist and ankle. Condyloid joints have an oval - shaped end fitting into an elliptical cavity, allowing more movement like flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and circumduction, seen in the wrist. The wrist is a body part with both types of joints.

Answer:

Gliding joints have limited gliding movement; condyloid joints allow more complex movements. The wrist has both types of joints.
