Name the type of joint between the following.(a) Atlas/axis(b) Carpal/metacarpal of thumb(c) Between phalanges(d) Femur/acetabulum(e) Between cranial bones(f) Between pubic bones in the pelvic girdle


Joints are the portion of our body that connects two or more bones.
The type of joints present in between the following are as follows :-
Atlas/axis –
Pivot joint.
Pivot joints help in axial rotation and are a type of synovial joint.
