Biaxial joints allow for movement in two planes or axes. A common example of a biaxial joint is the wrist, which allow for movement side to side, and also allows for movement up and down. It can be difficult to determine whether a joint is biaxial or multiaxial, because when the biaxial joint moves in both directions at the same time, it appears to have the multiaxial quality of being able to move in any plane or axes.

What are all of the examples of a hinge joint?
The most typical hinge joints is the elbow, which attaches the Humerus to the Radius and Ulna.Some say the interphalangeal joints between the bones in your fingers are hinge joints; others call them condyloid jointsHinge joints that are a bit atypical, as they allow some limited rotation include the:knee, or tibiofemoral joint. This is the largest hinge joint. The patellofemoral joint, between the kneecap and thighbone, is not a hinge joint.. The knee is sometimes considered a modified hinge joint or a pivotal hinge joint.The Ankle is not a good example, its a saddle joint.The jaw (the temperomandibular joint) is sometimes called a hinge joint, but it has a gliding component as well and has more motion than a typical hinge joint.Hinge joints are synovial joints that only move on one plane (ex you can bring your arm up at your elbow but you can bend it sideways without rotating your shoulder.Generally, a hinge joint is found between two bones that move in two opposite directions (flexion and extension), as opposed to in many directions. For comparison, the hip joint and shoulder are not hinge joints, since they move the adjoining limb in several directions.
What Hinge joints are capable of?
Flexion and Extension
Is a knee a biaxial hinge?
yes
Where in your joints are your hinge joints?
In our joints our hinge joints are located between two bone our hinge joint is our elbow.
How many major joints in the human body?
There are three types of joints in the human body, synarthrotic, amphiarthrotic, and diarthrotic. The diarthrotic joints are also called synovial, or freely moving, joints. They are subdivided into, moaxial, biaxial, and triaxial. The six types include; ball-and-socket, pivot, gliding, ellipsoidal, saddle, and hinge.
What are the muscles called that cross two joints and act on both joints?
biarticulate or biaxial muscles
Which kind of joint allows bones to slide?
Hinge joints
What is the name of a muscle that crosses two joints?
rectus femoris
What is the functional classification of the tibiofemoral joint?
pivotal hinge joint or synovial diarthrodial biaxial joint
Which joint moves only by a uniaxial movement around its own axis?
the pivot and hinge joints. they can only move back and forth in one direction, as apposed the the biaxial joint, condyloid, and saddle which can move back and forth in 2 different directions and the multiaxial joint Ball and socket joint which can move in many directions.
The knuckles are what types of joints?
Synovial Hinge
Where hinge joints are located?
The knee is a hinge joint. All the other joints have a certain amount of side movement. 2nd Answer: The elbows are also classified as hinge joints - other than size, they are almost identical to knee joints.
What Two ways that joints are classified?
There are several ways in which joints are classified. The main classifications are in regard to how much they move. The classical terms are Synarthrotic, Amphiarthrotic, and Diarthrotic, where the Diarthrotic are the most movable. The diarthrotic joints are also called freely moving, or synovial joints. These can be classified by how they move. There are monoaxial joints, which move in one plane, or around a central axis. Then there are biaxial joints that move in two planes of movement. And, finally, there are the multiaxial (sometimes called triaxial) joints that move in more than two planes. The monoaxial joints can be subdivided into hinge and pivot joints. The biaxial joints can be subdivided into ellipsoidal and saddle. And, the multiaxial joints can be subdivided into gliding and ball-and-socket joints.
