GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Gliding movements occur as relatively flat bone surfaces move past each other. They produce very little rotation or angular movement of the bones. The joints of the carpal and tarsal bones are examples of joints that produce gliding movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -Example of a gliding joint is the wrist joint. Other gliding joints are the joints between two vertebras, ankle joints, acromioclavicular joints, etc.

Detailed explanation-3: -Also known as the plane joint, gliding joints are composed of two smooth surfaces that slide over one another to produce limited movement. They are primarily found in the ankles, wrist, and spine. Like the other joints in the body, plane joints can be affected by arthritis.
