Hinge joint : the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another Ball-and-socket joint : rounded projection of one bone fits into a groove in another, providing rotational movement Plane joint : bones have fiat articular surfaces that allow them to glide past each other Saddle joint : saddle-shaped articulating surface is convex in one direction and concave in the other direction Pivot joint : one bone fits into a concave surface of another Condylar joint : the rounded end of one bone fits into the concave depression of another

Question
Which labels are incorrectly placed according to the descriptions?

Transcribed Image Text:**Joint Types and Descriptions**
1. **Hinge Joint**: The convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another.
2. **Ball-and-Socket Joint**: The rounded projection of one bone fits into a groove in another, providing rotational movement.
3. **Plane Joint**: Bones have flat articular surfaces that allow them to glide past each other.
4. **Saddle Joint**: A saddle-shaped articulating surface is convex in one direction and concave in the other direction.
5. **Pivot Joint**: One bone fits into a concave surface of another.
6. **Condylar Joint**: The rounded end of one bone fits into the concave depression of another.
