What allows a chicken wing to move at the elbow?
The elbow is a hinge type joint, so it will flex and extend with minimal rotation.
Which of joint allows movement in all directions?
the ball-and-socket joint
How can a rotation joint be used in football?
Hip joint is rotation joint. You can not imagine playing foot ball without the use of this joint.
Is a ball and socket joint a uniaxial joint because motion is limited to rotation in a single plane?
No; the ball-and-socket joint is a multi-axial (specifically triaxial) joint because it allows motion in 3 planes.Flexion-extensionAbduction-adductionRotation
What are the types of joints found in thumb?
The types of joints found in thumb are: 1. Caropometacarpal joint where the metacarpal bone of the thumb attaches to the trapezium bone of the wrist. This joint is a saddle joint that allows two planes of motion with a small amount or rotation. 2. Metacarpophalangeal joint is the joint between the metacarpal bone and the phalanges of the thumb. This joint is an ellipsoid joint that allows movement in two planes and is biaxial. 3. Interphalangeal joint is the joint between the two phalanges of the thumb. This joint is a hinge joint that allows movement in one plane and is also referred to as uniaxial.
Allows some movement but not much rotation?
Ellipsoid joint
What is the difference between simple support and pin-joint support?
We tend to use them to mean the same thing. In two dimensions, a simple support is one that allows rotation. A pin joint support is a simple support that allows rotation but not translation. A roller joint support is a simple support that allows rotation and translation.
Why is the ellipsoid joint in your wrists an advantage over a simple hinge joint?
Because it enables rotation, unlike a hinge joint such as the knee which only allows movement in one plane; back and forth.
What joint connect the hips to thighbone?
the joint wich connects the hip and femur together is the ball in socket joint. this allows for full rotation of the joint.
What is the only joint of the body with 360 degrees rotation?
shoulder
What allows a chicken wing to move at the elbow?
The elbow is a hinge type joint, so it will flex and extend with minimal rotation.
What is axis on atlas movement in neck?
The joint here is a synovial pivot joint allowing for rotation in the transverse plane. THis means its the joint that allows you to turn your head form side to side.
Which joint allows for the following movements flexion extension abduction adduction rotation and circumduction?
Ball and socket joint allows the above movements. Shoulder and hip joints are classic examples of this type of joints. Shoulder joint is much more mobile and circumduction movement is well marked in that joint.
Which of joint allows movement in all directions?
the ball-and-socket joint
How can a rotation joint be used in football?
Hip joint is rotation joint. You can not imagine playing foot ball without the use of this joint.
What movement does the shoulder joint allow?
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, which is the type that allows the greatest range of movement. it allows the arm to move forward and backward (as when you swing your arms while walking); abduction and adduction (as in jumping jacks); and many intermediate movements.
Is a ball and socket joint a uniaxial joint because motion is limited to rotation in a single plane?
No; the ball-and-socket joint is a multi-axial (specifically triaxial) joint because it allows motion in 3 planes.Flexion-extensionAbduction-adductionRotation
