Where are the ellipsoidal in the body?
Specifically ellipsoidal joints are joints in the body which by their shape and ligaments allow only flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.Rotation is impossible. The wristis an example of this type of joint.
What are the example of joints?
Synarthrotic-These joints are "fiberous" and don't move a lot.Skeletal sutureAmphiarthrotic-This joint only permits slight movement. RibsDiarthrotic-Freely moveing joint.
What range of movement does the ellipsoid joint allow?
Hinge joints are so named because they resemble hinges, like one might find on a door. Some familiar examples of hinge joints are the elbow, which joins the humerus with the ulna, and the knee, which joins the femur with the tibia. Like a door, these joints can move back and forth, in one plane only, but cannot swivel or move in any other directions (except slight side to side movement). Flexion and extension are the only two types of movements allowed in case of hinge type of joints. Flexion decreases the angle and Extension increases the angle.Flexion and Extension
Which of joint allows movement in all directions?
the ball-and-socket joint
How elbow joint is placed to the shoulder?
I am not sure what the question is. If there was an injury and the elbow needs to be immobolized a sling is the best option. If the questions is regarding the structure of our body, the elbow joint, along with other structures is connected to a bone called the humerus; the humerus, with many other structures is connected to the shoulder joint.
What joint does the elbow form?
The elbow is an uniaxial joint. This type is a synovial joint that permits movement around only one axis and in only one plane. The articulating ends of the bones form a hinge-shaped unity that allows only flexion and extension.
What is the type of joint at the knee and elbow?
The knee and elbow both are uniaxial joints. This type is a synovial joint that permits movement around only one axis and in only one plane. The articulating ends of the bones form a hinge-shaped unity that allows only flexion and extension.
What is the type of joint found in the knee and elbow?
They are hinge joints. The elbow has only one plane of motion (flexion & extension); however, the knee is considered a "modified hinge" because it has the flexion & extension as well as a rotational (pivot) component as well.

Which muscle is involved in adduction at the ankle joint?
If you mean hyperadduction of the joint at the knee, it is stretching the muscle on the top of your thigh which is called the gastrocnemius.
What bone is found in your knees and elbows?

Why is it nessesary to have two muscles rather than one?
At least 2 muscles would be required in order to allow for flexion and extension of that joint. If there was only one muscle (in this case lets say a flexor), you could flex the joint, but would not be able to straighten the joint back out.
What type of joint that permits movement in one plane?
A hinge joint. Using your knee as an example of what this means: Standing up you can bend the knee so that your leg is bent behind you, but you cannt twist it or move it in any other way. This is what it is meant by only one plane of movement. Other joints such as your shoulder allow you to move your arm in many different ways meaning it has several planes of movement.
What joint is in the middle of your arm?
it's called an elbow.The joint in the middle of the arm is the elbow.elbowThe joint that is used when bending the elbow is aSynovial Joint.A considerable amount of movement is permitted a all synovial joints and types are subdivided according to the movements.The elbow would be specifically considered a Hinge Joint: This type permits movement in one plane only. The movements are flexion and extension. Other examples of hinge joints are knee, ankle interphalangeal joints of the fingers and toes.* so its a synovial joint...but a Hinge joint type...other types are ball and socket eg: hip etc.Hope it helps :)
Is an elbow an uniaxial joint?

What function do th triceps serve?
The primary function ofthe biceps brachi is suppination of the forarm, only when the forearm is suppinated does the biceps brachi assist brachialis in flexion of the elbow. The Triceps brachi is the only significant extensor of the elbow joint.
