Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is a type of synovial joint. It allows the greatest range of movement. Here, the joints are held together by ligaments and tendons. In this type of joint, the head of the bone is fitted into a socket of another bone.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pivot joints consist of the rounded end of one bone fitting into a ring formed by the other bone. This structure allows rotational movement, as the rounded bone moves around its own axis.

Detailed explanation-3: -ball-and-socket joint, also called spheroidal joint, in vertebrate anatomy, a joint in which the rounded surface of a bone moves within a depression on another bone, allowing greater freedom of movement than any other kind of joint.

Detailed explanation-4: -The joint is able to rotate freely in all directions, allowing the ball to move within the socket in a circular motion. This allows the joint to perform a wide range of movements, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation.
