What are the joints of carpal bones?
Finally, the gliding joint. These joints are flat and allow for the bones to simply “slide” past one another, they do not bend. If you want to feel one in motion, put your fingers on your sternoclavicular joint, which is at the beginning of your clavicle, also known as your collar bone, where it connects with your sternum, or breast bone in the middle of your chest. Here you will find two bumps, these are the sternoclavicular joints. Put your fingers on one of them with the opposite hand, and then raise your arm over your head. You should feel it move. This is what makes it a gliding joint, it only moves slightly.
