Projecting from its superior surface is the crista galli; the outermost covering of the brain attaches to this projection. Plane joint. In a plane joint, the articular surfaces are essentially flat, and only short slipping or gliding movements are allowed; the movements of plane joints are nonaxial, that is, gliding does not involve rotation around any axis; the intercarpal joints of the wrist are best examples of plane joints.
