Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages.
Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements.
Gliding joint is a type of synovial joint formed between bones that meet at flat or nearly flat articular surfaces. Gliding joints allow the bones to glide past one another in any direction along the plane of the joint - up and down, left and right, and diagonally.
An example of the gliding joint is zygapophyses of adjacent vertebrae.
So, the correct answer is 'Zygapophyses of adjacent vertebrae'.
