Detailed explanation-1: -The unique, flat shape of the articulating surfaces in a gliding joint let the bones slide over one another, often allowing a large range of motion. These joints are present in the spine, wrist, foot, and the clavicle. The shape of the articular surfaces in a joint help determine how the joint will work.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gliding joint – or plane joint. Smooth surfaces slip over one another, allowing limited movement, such as the wrist joints.
Detailed explanation-3: -Example of a gliding joint is the wrist joint. Other gliding joints are the joints between two vertebras, ankle joints, acromioclavicular joints, etc.
