Verified step by step guidance

Understand the types of joints in the human body: Joints are classified based on their structure and function. Synovial joints are a type of joint that allows for free movement and are characterized by a fluid-filled joint cavity.

Identify the types of synovial joints: Common types of synovial joints include pivot joints, ball and socket joints, hinge joints, saddle joints, plane joints, and condyloid joints.

Examine the options provided: The options given are pivot joint, ball and socket joint, suture joint, and hinge joint.

Recognize the odd one out: Suture joints are not synovial joints. They are fibrous joints found in the skull where bones are tightly bound by fibrous tissue, allowing for little to no movement.

Conclude which option is not a synovial joint: Based on the understanding that suture joints are fibrous and not synovial, identify 'suture joint' as the correct answer to the question.
