Which of the following joints is found in the axial skeleton?

A pivot joint is uniaxial because it allows rotation only around its own longitudinal axis. Examples of pivot joints are the atlanto-axial joint, in which the atlas rotates around the axis and permits the head to turn from side-to-side. The atlas and the axis are a part of the vertebral column (axial skeleton). Elbow joint, shoulder joint, and hip joint are associated with the appendicular skeleton.
