Synovial Joints
Patella
knee is patella and shoulder is scapulla
The shoulder is a ball and socket joint. The hip is also.
Hmmm, lets ee. Elbows, shoulders, knees, fingers, toes....
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.
yes the knee joint is stronger
[object Object]
Hinges joints only allow movement in two directions, which are forward and backward. Knees and elbows are examples of hinge joints.
a joint called the hinge joint allows you to bend and straighten your knees!!:)
It connects bones and allows them to bend and move (like your elbow and knees).
Hinge: Knee and Elbow Ball and Socket: Hip and Shoulder
No, the hinge joint only allows movement in a side to side or up/down motion - examples being knees and elbows for the human body. Ball Jointsd however permit movement in a 360 degree range (depending on how supple the muscles are - for example hip jointsd which allow the leg to move forward and back and side to side. Shoulders likewise. So, in a globule, a succont answer would be "No" :)
