The type of joint that is being used. Such as a hinge joint it only has only one way to move, back and forth. But the ball and socket joint can move in three axis to allow a better range in motion.
The overall purpose of a joint is to provide movement . Differing types of joints allow for differing movements; a hinge joint allows motion in one direction whereas a pivot joint allows rotating or twisting motion.
No; the ball-and-socket joint is a multi-axial (specifically triaxial) joint because it allows motion in 3 planes.Flexion-extensionAbduction-adductionRotation
The four kinds of movable joints are hinge joint, ball-and-socket, pivot joint, and gliding joint.Movable joint: allows forward or backward.Ball-and-socket joint: allows the greatest range of motion.Pivot joint: allows one bone to rotate around another.Gliding joint: allows one bone to slide over another.~ A.

The types of joints found in thumb are: 1. Caropometacarpal joint where the metacarpal bone of the thumb attaches to the trapezium bone of the wrist. This joint is a saddle joint that allows two planes of motion with a small amount or rotation. 2. Metacarpophalangeal joint is the joint between the metacarpal bone and the phalanges of the thumb. This joint is an ellipsoid joint that allows movement in two planes and is biaxial. 3. Interphalangeal joint is the joint between the two phalanges of the thumb. This joint is a hinge joint that allows movement in one plane and is also referred to as uniaxial.
Your sliding joint allows your spine to bending or stretching
there is a defect in the collagen tissue which allows for more ROM. if the collagen was not defective it would be more elastic and not allow a greater ROM range of movement

This is a saddle joint which allows movement in two planes instead of one. It allows the thumb to cross the palm of the hand. This joint allows biaxial movement. This allows movement in the frontal and sagittal planes.
The joint in a fan that allows it to swivel is called a ball joint. Ball joints work similarly to the human knee or hip when it comes to allowing motion.
A universal joint, U joint, Cardan joint, Hardy-Spicer joint, or Hooke's joint is a joint in a rigid rod that allows the rod to 'bend' in any direction, and is commonly used in shafts that transmit rotary motion.
Uniaxial movement refers to motion that occurs in only one direction or along a single axis. In the context of biology or anatomy, uniaxial movement can refer to the motion of a joint that allows movement in only one plane or direction, such as flexion and extension at the elbow joint. This is in contrast to biaxial or multiaxial movement, which involve motion in multiple planes or around multiple axes.

The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint - which allows for the greatest range of motion, while the knee is a pivotal hinge joint, because in the human body, there is no need for a knee that can rotate in any direction, but an arm that can do so is almost imperative.
A pivot joint allows movement around the joint. The movement is a pivot or turning. A pivot joint is found between the first and second vertebral joint. This allows you to turn your head.A pivot joint can make a rapid turning motion. When you look from one side to the other side you are making a pivotal movement. A dancer turns rapidly on 1 foot is making a pivotal movement. If you make it quick turn to go back the way you were coming that is a pivotal movement.
