Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. The following are examples of synovial joints except which is it answer choice. A sydes mosis joints. Answer choice B saddle joints, answer choice D condyloid joints or answer choice D hinge joints. Let's work this problem out together to try to figure out which of the following answer. Choices is not an example of a synovial joint. So in order to solve this question, we have to recall what a synovial joint is to determine which of the following answer choices is not considered one of them. And we can recall that synovial joints are joints that are characterized by the presence of a synovial cavity and synovial fluid of which those types joints with that synovial cavity. And synovial fluid includes saddle joints, condyloid joints as well as hinge joints, which means that we can eliminate answer choice B, answer choice C and answer choice D. Since all three answer choices are examples of synovial joints leaving us with only one remaining answer choice which is answer choice. A sydes mosis joints, which is not an example of a synovial joint and instead is a type of fibrous joint where the bones are connected by ligaments. So answer choice. A is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
