Question

can be found. For a 9th grader

Answer 1

Gliding joints allow for sliding or shifting movements between flat surfaces, like those found in the wrists and ankles, while condyloid joints permit movement in two directions—like up and down and side to side—similar to how the wrist connects to the hand. Both types of joints can be found in the wrist (the gliding joints between the carpal bones and the condyloid joint where the radius meets the carpals).
