In the superior extremity you have ball of humerus (Head) and socket (Glenoid cavity) of the scapula. In the inferior extremity, you have ball of femur (Head of femur) and socket ( Acetabulum) of hip bone.

∙ 14y agoThe human pelvis and femure are a ball and socket joint. The head of the femur is the ball and the pelvis the socket.

Is ankle a hinge joint or a ball and socket joint?
Ankle is a hinge joint. As it has 'pulley' shaped articular surfaces. Strong medial and lateral ligaments. And permits only two types of movements. Dorsiflexion and planter flex-ion. Movements are allowed in one plane around single axis.

What is pelvic?
The pelvis is rather a large bone, technically it is 3 bones joined like in the skull on each side. These three are called the Illium, Ischium and the Pubis. Without a diagram I think it impossible to demonstrate the separate bones but no matter. There are three major joints the pelvis makes. Firstly there as a small but crucial joint at the very front joining the pubis bones of the left and right sides. This is called the Pubic Symphysis and is a very strong cartilagenous joint (to be precise it is secondary cartilagenous). This joint allows very little movement. The angle of the bones beneath the pubic symphysis are often what is used to determine the gender of an unknown skeleton, smaller angle in males than in females. The Second joint is the illioacral joint which is located at the posterior beteen the illium of the pelvis and the sacral region of the spine. The abundance of ligaments around this joint might trick some into believing it is a fibrous joint but it is not. In fact the joint here is a synovial plane joint. This allows some, but granted little, movement between the pelvis and the sacrum. In a women in labour the hormone relaxin is released which makes the muscle and tendons around this joint relax drastically so that more movement can occur, allowing the baby to fit through the pelvic outlet more easily. The third and final major joint the pelvis maked is the one know as the Hip joint, between the pelvis and the Lower Limb (in anatomy only the bottom part of the lower limb is called the Leg). This is a very mobile synovial Ball And Socket joint at which several types of motion can occur. The part of the lover limb that is atached is called the Head of the Femur and form the ball part. The part od the pelvis involved is called the Acetabulum and form ths socket part. The Aectabutlum is right at the junction where all three of the pelvic bones meat and is coveres in a thick layer of cartialge to protect the joint.
What are the two bones that are joined by a synovial joint?
bones go to the store and buy koolaid. thats sucha stupid answer... some ppl are actually looking for correct answers. alright guys the correct answer is: the two pubic bones join together to form the synovial joint.
What is The junction line where two bones form a joint that does not permit any movement?
Nah. It is just there so u dont fall apart.
What structure do the collar and shoulder bones form?
I think it might be a ball and socket joint of a universal joint.
What forms the ball-socket join at the shoulder of humans?
The humerous and the glenoid fossa form the ball-socket joint.
The scapula articulates with this bone to form a ball and socket joint at the shoulder?
Humerus

What is pervis disease?
pervis disease is a problem in your bones where ball on the leg joint is not fitted in the socket of the pelvis. I myself have this disease although I have a very rare form of it were it affects both legs.
What is an adarticulation?
An adarticulation is a form of diarthrodial articulation in which the articular surfaces are nearly flat, so they form an imperfect ball and socket joint.
What is an arthrodia?
An arthrodia is a form of diarthrodial articulation in which the articular surfaces are nearly flat, thereby forming an imperfect ball and socket joint.
Where are ball and socket located?
your shoulder is a ball and socket join and your hip and femur form one as well.
What are the main features of a placental mammal?
The primary feature is a fully developed placenta in females in which the babies are nurtured before birth. Other features that placental mammals have that other mammals do not have include the lack of epipubic bones, a wide opening at the bottom of the pelvis, a malleolus at the bottom of both the tibia and the fibula, and a ball-and-socket upper ankle joint (the ankle forms the socket, the tibia and fibula form the ball).
What are the four bones that form the ankle joint?
The four bones that form the ankle joint are the tibia, fibula, talus, and calcaneus. The tibia and fibula are the bones of the lower leg that articulate with the talus, which sits on top of the calcaneus, or heel bone.
Which bones form the acetabulum?
the acetabulum is made up of the three bones in the Os Coaxe. The ilum, ishium and pubis.
