A plane joint (arthrodial joint, gliding joint, plane articulation) is a synovial joint which, under physiological conditions, allows only gliding movement. Plane joints permit sliding movements in the plane of articular surfaces. The opposed surfaces of the bones are flat or almost flat, with movement limited by their tight joint capsules.
The articulations of the heads of the ribs (or costocentral articulations) constitute a series of gliding or arthrodial joints, and are formed by the articulation of the heads of the typical ribs with the costal facets on the contiguous margins of the bodies of the thoracic vertebrae and with the intervertebral discs between them; the first, eleventh and twelfth ribs each articulate with a ...
The cricoarytenoid joint allows for rotation and gliding motion. [1] The extent of rotation is significant, while the extent of gliding is limited. [1] The cricoarytenoid joint controls the abduction and adduction of the vocal cords. [1] It is moved by many of the intrinsic muscles of the larynx. [2]
The gliding movements are smaller in males than in females. Type B is in 24% of females and 20% of males. In contrary to type A it lacks a definite "facet" and the two cartilaginous parts of the articulation are joined only by soft connective tissue. Horizontal movement is 5.0 mm and vertical, 5.1 mm with no differences between them.
The joint allows inversion and eversion of the foot, but plays minimal role in dorsiflexion or plantarflexion of the foot. [5] The centre of rotation of the subtalar joint is thought to be in the region of the middle facet. [3] It is considered a plane synovial joint, also commonly referred to as a gliding joint. [6]

Humeroradial joint: head of the radius: capitulum of the humerus: Is a ball-and-socket joint. Superior radioulnar joint: head of the radius: radial notch of the ulna
