Hip joint (acetabulufemoral joint) is ball and socket joint (also called enarthrosis or spheroidal joint).
Knee joint is compound joint because it forms by two articulations of two different types. Femural-tibia joint is condyloid joint (also called ellipsoid or angular joint). Joint between femur and patella is saddle joint (also called sellar joint).
Elbow joint is Hinge joint (also called ginglymus joint).
They are all synnovial joints with different articulaiton types. The hip is a ball and socket joint. the knee is a pivot hinge and the elbow is a hinge
That type of joint is synovial
A hinge joint is a joint that allows forward and backward movement. Your elbow and knee are hinge joints.
the knee and the elbow are just 2 examples of hinge joints in the human body
A hinge joint. Ex: Elbow, knee.
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.
In the human body the knee is a flexible joint. The knee connects the upper part of the leg to the lower part of the leg. The knee is called a flexible joint because it's not stiff. It bends. Other flexible joints are the elbow and the knuckle.
The knee is an example of a hinge joint, not a ball-and-socket joint.
Hinge joints
synovial
the different types of joints in the body include: HINGE JOINT - examples include elbow, and knee BALL AND SOCKET JOINTS - examples include shoulder and hip GLIDING JOINT- example foot and wrist SADDLE JOINT - example THUMB CONDYLOID JOINT- head and fingers
knee joint, arm joint and elbow joint
synovial
synovial
humeral-ulnar joint (elbow), tibial-femoral joint (knee)
Joint Laxity
Skeletal joints are where two bones come together, such as the knee is a hinge joint. Or the elbow is also a hinge joint.
A hinge joint is a joint that allows forward and backward movement. Your elbow and knee are hinge joints.
