Detailed explanation-1: -An ellipsoid joint is a biaxial joint. An ellipsoid joint allows movements in all angular motions. The movement of ellipsoid joints is in two plains, back and front, and side to side. These joints are present between the knuckle joints, wrist joints, metacarpophalangeal joints and metatarsophalangeal joints of fingers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: The wrist joint, the metacarpophalangeal joints, and the metatarsophalangeal joints are examples of ellipsoid joints.
Detailed explanation-3: -Functionally the three types of joints are synarthrosis (immovable), amphiarthrosis (slightly moveable), and diarthrosis (freely moveable).
Detailed explanation-4: -Hinge joints are different from condyloid joints. Hinge joints permit movement in only two planes and allow rotatory motion as well.
