ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Yes, the wrist is a pivot joint that moves in relation to the forearm bones namely, radius and ulna.

Detailed explanation-2: -The pivot joint is exemplified by the joint between the atlas and the axis (first and second cervical vertebrae), directly under the skull, which allows for turning of the head from side to side.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two main types of pivot joints in the body: the atlantoaxial joint and the radioulnar joint. The atlantoaxial joint is found in the neck, and it is formed by the connection between the first (C1) and second (C2) cervical vertebrae (i.e., the top two vertebrae in your neck).

Detailed explanation-4: -The neck is the part where the skull and the anterior part of the vertebral column join. It contains a pivot joint. Pivot joint also called rotary joint, is a freely movable joint that allows rotary movement around a single axis.

Detailed explanation-5: -In this joint, a cylinder-shaped bone rotates inside the other bone/ligament forming a ring around the joint. Examples: The joint between the atlas(first cervical vertebrae) and axis(second cervical vertebrae) present right under the skull is a pivot joint that allows the turning of the head from side to side.
