Joints of the thumb?

Are thumbs nonaxial, uniaxial, biaxial or multiaxial?

LOL i loved the previous response lol

The first thumb joint is known as a saddle joint (the joint at the base). This means they allow for flexion, extension, and circumduction.

The other is a normal hinge style joint, and just like a door hing they only allow for flexion and extension
