Here is a little fact sheet about the important Muscles, Joints and Bones

Joints: there are 6 types of movable joints in your body

1. Hinge- Flection and Extension elbow/knee

2. Pivot- a rotation of one none around another top of neck

3. Ball and Socket- Flexion/extension/adduction/abduction/internal and external rotations shoulder/hip

4. Saddle - Flexion/extension/adduction/abduction/forwards and backwards/left to right joint of thumb

5. Condyloid- Flexion/extension/adduction/abduction/forwards and backwards/left to right wrist joint

6. Gliding- gliding movement intercarpal joints 

Here are three joints and their relation to movement 

1. Fibrous Joints- fixed or immovable 

2. Cartilaginous Joints- slightly movable joints. Ligaments stop them from moving too far

3. Synovial Joints- freely movable joints. All the moving parts are held together by ligaments 

Some of the words describing types of joints may have not made sense so here are some explinations

1. Extension- stretching out, expansion, lengthening toes

2. Flexion- Bending climbing stairs

3. Adduction- to draw inwards towards the body

4. Abduction- to draw away from the body

5. Rotation- turning around 

Still trying to figure stuff out about the bones...
