What type of joint allows for the most movement?

• Hinge joint

• Ball and Socket joint

• Pivot joint

• Saddle joint

What type of joint allows for rotation of the bone over another bone?

• Ball and socket joint

• Hinge joint

• Pivot joint

• Saddle joint

What is a Ball and Socket joint?

• A joint that allows for rotational movement in multiple directions, such as the shoulder and hip joints.

• A joint that permits only back-and-forth movement, like the elbow joint.

• A joint that connects two bones with limited movement, such as the skull sutures.

• A joint that allows for sliding movements, like the joints in the wrist.

What is a Hinge joint?

• A joint that allows movement in one direction, similar to the opening and closing of a door, such as the elbow and knee.

• A joint that allows for rotational movement, such as the shoulder joint.

• A joint that permits movement in multiple directions, like the hip joint.

• A joint that connects two bones without allowing any movement, like the sutures in the skull.

What is a Gliding joint?

• A joint that allows for sliding movements between flat surfaces, such as in the wrists and ankles.

• A joint that allows for rotational movement around a single axis, such as in the elbow.

• A joint that permits movement in multiple directions, such as in the shoulder.

• A joint that connects two bones with a flexible cartilage, allowing limited movement, such as in the spine.

What is the difference between a fixed joint and a movable joint?

• A fixed joint allows for varying degrees of movement, while a movable joint does not allow movement.

• A fixed joint does not allow movement (e.g., skull sutures), while a movable joint allows for varying degrees of movement.

• A fixed joint is found only in the limbs, while a movable joint is found in the skull.

• A fixed joint allows for full range of motion, while a movable joint allows for no movement.
