Ball-and-Socket Joints. Smooth, hemispherical head fits within a cuplike socket. Only mutiaxial joints in the body are the shoulder joint - head of humerus into glenoid cavity of scapula and the hip joint - head of femur into acetabulum of hip bone.

What kind of joint is a multiaxial joint?

A multiaxial joint is a type of synovial joint. The x-axial refers to how many planes of the movement the specific joint provides, so in the case of a multiaxial joint, that means it provides movement in many planes of movement (multiaxial usually refers to three, which can then also be stated as triaxial).


Is the hip joint an example of a synovial joint?

Yes, the hip joint is an example of a synovial joint. Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a joint cavity, synovial fluid, and a joint capsule that allows for smooth movement between bones, which is true for the hip joint.


What kind of synovial joint is a multiaxial joint?

A multiaxial joint is a type of synovial joint that allows movement in multiple planes, such as the shoulder joint (ball and socket joint). These joints have three or more axes of rotation and enable movement in all three planes of motion at the same time.


Is the hip a biaxial joint?

No, the hip is a multiaxial joint because it allows movement in three planes: flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and internal/external rotation. This allows for a wide range of motion compared to biaxial joints.


What is the example of condyloid joint?

multiaxial joint


Is coxal joint a multiaxial?

yes


Demonstrate movement at two joints that are uniaxial?

Flexion ( is a typical of hinge joint ) bending the knee or elbow


This type of joint allows side to side movement and up and down movement?

A ball-and-socket joint, like the hip joint, allows for a wide range of movement as it allows both rotational and circumduction movements.


Which of the following is an example of a triaxial joint?

Ball-and-socket joint is an example of triaxial (or multiaxial) joint.


What joint is multiaxial?

On good authority the best answer to your question is - ball&socket


What does the synovial joint allow for?

This joint allows movement in many planes.


What joints are biaxial hinge joints?

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.
