The video tutorial explains the three main types of joints in the human body: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. Fibrous joints are immovable, held together by ligaments, and found in the skull and teeth. Cartilaginous joints, connected by cartilage, include symphysis and synchondrosis types, found in the pubic symphysis and vertebrae. Synovial joints are the most common, highly movable, and include hinge, pivot, ball-and-socket, saddle, condyloid, and gliding joints. Each type is described with examples and characteristics.
