Hinge joints	In this joint, the rounded end of one bone fits into cavity (hollow space) of the other bone directions.
Pivot join	In this joint, the bones are held so tightly together that they cannot move at all
Fixed join	In this joint, it allows rotation only. In this joint cylindrical bone rotates in a ring

Backbone	The backbone is a long hollow, rod like structure running from the neck to the hips. Backbone is made up of 33 small bones placed one over the other. These small bones are called vertebrae. It provides support to the body and protects spinal cord
Pelvic bone	The pelvic bones form a large, basin shaped frame at the lower end of the backbone, to which legs are attached. The pelvic bones enclose the portion of our body below the stomach.
