How Many Joints in the Human Body? Before we proceed towards the various types of joints in the body, let’s start with how many joints there are in total. There are about 230 and more joints in an average human body!
When asked what’s a joint, most of us answer saying knees, elbows, ankles, etc. are joints. While we all have a fair idea of what joints are, most often we fumble when asked to define what we mean by joints in terms of their physical functions.
Synovial Joints (wrist carpals, acromioclavicular joint, elbow area between humerus and ulna, Atlanto-axial joint, proximal radio-ulnar joint, distal radio-ulnar joint, wrist joint, carpometacarpal thumb joint, Glenohumeral shoulder joint, hip joint, sternoclavicular joint, knee-joint)
