Hinge joint
Flexion is movement during which the knees or elbows are bent to decrease the angle of the joint
A previous wiki answer from Gerry Sutton.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 wellRead more: What_type_of_joint_is_found_in_the_knee_and_elbow
a joint called the hinge joint allows you to bend and straighten your knees!!:)
# Hinge joints allow movement in one direction, as seen in the knees and elbows. # Pivot joints allow a rotating or twisting motion, like that of the head moving from side to side. # Ball-and-socket joints allow the greatest freedom of movement. The hips and shoulders have this type of joint, in which the round end of a long bone fits into the hollow of another bone.
The acromioclavicular joint is a plane, or gliding, joint.

The most affected joints would be the larger joints. Examples: the shoulder, the knees, elbows, and sometimes the hips.In my case, my hips, knees and wrists are the main ones, yet every joint is affected just not as much as thoseJoint inflammation in the knees and other large joints.Lyme arthritis usually affects the knees. In a minority of patients arthritis can occur in other joints, including the ankles, elbows, wrist, hips, and shoulders. Pain is often mild or moderate, usually with swelling at the involved joint. Baker's cysts may form and rupture. In some cases joint erosion occurs.http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/000625.htmhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyme_disease

The type of joint that allows a piano playes fingers to play music are gliding joints.
Two joints which are major contenders for "biggest joint" when you take a first glance at the human skeleton, are the hip joint and the knee joint. At first, the HIP looks really big compared to the knee, but when you actually look at the part of the hip that is really considered to be the joint and compare that to the part of the knee that is really considered the joint, you can see that the knee joint is bigger (the place where the bones meet/articulate). So, the knee joint is the biggest joint in the body.

Cartilage is a firm, elastic and flexible type of connective tissue that covers the surface of joints, allowing bones to slide over each other. It is found on the ears, nose, knees, elbows, trachea and larynx.
