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.
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.
