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.
Your knee is made up of three bones(joints). These three are a Thighbone(femur), a Shinbone(tibia), and a Kneecap(patella).
The bones of the hand are the carpals (wrist bones), metacarpals (bones under the palm), and phalanges (finger bones). Part of the wrist would include the radius if you consider the wrist part of the hand. The carpals, by name, are the trapezoid, scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, capitate, trapezium, and hamate. The three distinct phalanges are the proximal, middle, and distal phalanges.PhalangesCarpalMetacarpalsare the bones in your hands
It got its name because it acts as a hinge, only opening and closing a certain distance. Your elbow is a hinge joint. Think of your elbow as a hinge on a door in your house. The door is your forearm and the door frame is your upper arm/body.
hinge
The structural name is a hinge joint because it moves like a hinge. A ball and socket would be if a head of one bone fit into a fossa on another. The knee joint consists of two articulating bones, the femur and tibia. As well the patella (knee cap) lies infront of this joint.
