Atlanto Axial articulation of ox, Horse and dog is a trochoid joint formed between the atlas and the axis.

Occipito Atlantal articulations is a ginglymus joint between the condyles of the occipital bone and the anterior articular cavities of the atlas.

There are few joints in the vertebral column, which are not articulated by common ligaments, are called as special vertebral articulations. The special vertebral articulations are- Occipito Atlantal articulations Atlanto Axial articulations Sacral and Coccygeal articulations

Common Vertebral articulations – The bones of the vertebral column are serially articulated by their bodies and by the neural processes

Articulations of Vertebral column – The bones of the vertebral column are serially articulated by their bodies and by the neural processes.

Ox In connection with the hyoid bone, five joints are formed on each side viz, basicornual between the body and keratohyoid (1) intercornual between kerato and epihyoid and between epi and stylohyoid temporo hyoidean between stylohyoid and hyoid process of petrous temporal thyro hyoidean between the thyroid cartilage of larynx and thyrohyoid. The basicornual articulation

Temporo-Mandibular articulations is a diarthrosis between the condyles of the ramus of the mandible and the squamous temporal.

Most of the bones of the skull are united by sutures. A few are united by cartilage (synchondrosis) and one (temporomandibular) joint is a synovial joint

Movements of joints are determined chiefly by the form, extent of joint surfaces and the arrangements of ligaments

Joints are classified anatomically according to their mode of development, the nature of uniting medium and the form of joint surfaces.
