Summary Introduction

To name: The specific types of angular motion.

Concept introduction: Synovial joints allow a wide range of movements which include gliding motion, angular motion, rotational motion, and special movements. Angular motion is one of the motions allowed by the synovial joints, which occurs when the angle between the bones of a joint changes. In other words, angular motion increases or decreases the angle between two bones.
