This is a saddle joint which allows movement in two planes instead of one. It allows the thumb to cross the palm of the hand. This joint allows biaxial movement. This allows movement in the frontal and sagittal planes.

What type of motion occurs when an object spins around an axis without altering its linear position?
Rotational motion.
What is the name pinky finger to thumb finger action?
Opposition is a special action of the hand, whereby the thumb and little finger are brought around to touch the fingertips. This action occurs at the joints between the carpal bones and the metacarpals of the thumb and little finger.

Why does motion occurs?

Where does motion occur?
motion occurs when any object is acted on by a force
As a motorcycle takes a sharp turn the type of motion that occurs is called?
As a motorcycle takes a sharp turn, the type of motion that occurs is a centripetal motion. This motion is directed along the radius towards the center.
Can motion occur when there are no forces?
yeah motion occurs. force is directly propotional to acceleration not motion.
Motion occurs when there is a change in?
acceleration
What waves occurs when the motion of the medium is parallel to the direction of the waves?
amplitude Longitudinal waves occurs when the motion of the medium. This is parallel to the direction of the wave.
What movement only occurs with the thumb?
The thumb is the only structure in the body having a saddle joint.
When the periodic motion occurs?
all the time
As a motorcycle takes a sharp turn the type of motion that occurs is called motion?
circular
What occurs when the motion does not change over time?
It is called uniform motion in a straight line.
Does motion occur when there is a change in speed?
Motion occurs when there is speed. A change of speed is not required.
Kind of motion?
In Physics, the first kind of motion is called the rotational motion. This rotation occurs around a fixed axis. Transitional motion, on the other hand, is the rotation that occurs along a linear axis. Lastly, the oscillatory motion is a repetitive type of motion and rises and falls between two locations.
