Hinge joint

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The elbow joint allows movement in only one plane,similar to the hinge of a door. Therefore,it is classified as a hinge joint. $1$. Ball and socket joints allow rotational movement in multiple directions (e.g.,shoulder joint). $2$. Pivot joints allow rotational movement around a single axis (e.g.,joint between atlas and axis). $3$. Hinge joints allow back-and-forth movement in a single plane (e.g.,elbow joint,knee joint). $4$. Gliding joints allow bones to glide past one another (e.g.,carpals in the wrist).
