Hinge

An elipsoid example is a metacarpophalangeal articulation in the phalanges

Ball and socket is the shoulder and hip

Pivot is superior and inferior radioulnar joint

There are other examples, but these are the most obvious.

btw-the classifications are based on how many planes of movement the joint is capable of moving through. There are three planes of movement.

A, a hinge joint. Similar to the hinge found on a door, it provides for movement in just two directions.
