Detailed explanation-1: -Gliding joints are found in the wrist and ankle. I n a gliding joint, the bones can only slide over each other.
Detailed explanation-2: -The wrist joint generally refers to the radiocarpal joint, which is the articulation between the distal end of the radius and the articulating surface of the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetral bones. Other articulations in the wrist area include the distal radius and ulnar and the carpal bones.
Detailed explanation-3: -Your wrist is made up of eight small bones called the carpal bones, or the carpus. These irregularly shaped bones join your hand to the two long forearm bones: the radius and ulna. The carpal bones are small square, oval, and triangular bones. The cluster of carpal bones in the wrist makes it both strong and flexible.
Detailed explanation-4: -The radioulnar joint is often referred to as a joint of the forearm but it is this articulation that gives the wrist more freedom of movement.
