Axial Synovial joints:

Type of joints	characteristics	Example
Nonaxial	slipping movement, absent of an axis around which the movement can occur	gliding joint
Uniaxial	movement occurs around one axis	elbow joint and knee joints
Biaxial	movement occurs around two axis	wrist joints
Multiaxial(tri or more)	Movement occurs around several axes.	hip joints and shoulder joints

Arthrology is the branch of science dealing with the study of joints.
These joints are further classified into three categories:
- Fibrous or Synarthrosis or Immovable joint.
- Cartilaginous or Amphiarthrosis or Slightly movable joint.
- Synovial or Diarthrosis or Freely movable joints.
