The 3rd post in our series about synovial joints is about the plane joint (AKA arthrodial joint or gliding joint).
This is a joint type in which the articular surfaces are essentially flat, and allow only short nonaxial gliding movements.
Those joints are limited by their tight joint capsules.
Examples of this form of articulation are found in the:
🔎 Clavicle: Acromioclavicular joint
🔎 Foot/hand: Intercarpal and intertarsal joints
🔎 Spine: Zygapophyseal joint
🎯 Fun fact: The plane joints in the thoracic region take an important part in the mechanism of breathing.
The sternocostal joints (between the sternum and ribs) and the vertebrocostal joints (between the vertebrae and ribs) permit the ribs to elevate and depress slightly and change the thoracic cavity volume.

There are 6 types of synovial joints. They have varying shapes, but the important thing about them is the movement they allow. Let’s go through each joint.
