Answer 1

Gliding Joints are found between bones that meet at flat or mostly flat surfaces. They allow for gliding movement of the bones past each other.

Condyloid joints allow for two planes of movement in flexion, extension, adduction, abduction, and/circumduction. These generally follow a convex/concave relationship between the bones that are joined via this joint.

You can find both types in the wrist.
