How would your legs move if your knees were ball and sockets joints?

Your knee is a HINGE JOINT because this joint allows you to move your knee forward and backward in a motion. If your knee was a ball and socket joint you would not be able to to move your leg backwards.


What is the amount of movement you can make at a joint?

The amount of movement you can make at a joint is determined by the structure of the joint itself, as well as the surrounding muscles and ligaments. Different joints have different ranges of motion, such as hinge joints like the elbow having primarily flexion and extension movement, while ball-and-socket joints like the hip have a wider range of motion including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation.


What are the five types of joints found in the human body?

*pivot joint-As the name suggests, this kind of joint permits pivotal movement of the parts of body this joined. Movement of the skull is an example. A man can turn his head from one side to the other by rotating the skull, which is joined to the backbone at its top in such a way that a pivotal movements is possible *hinge joint-This allows the movement of the part of body in one direction up or down but not sideways. Example of this joint is: knee-joint, elbow-joint, and movement of the lower jaw. *ball and socket joint-When a part is capable of making an all round movement up and down and sideways- this is possible by a joint of this kind. The leg can be moved in any direction, sideways, up and down *swivel joint- turn like a wheel on an axle. it is found between the vertebrae and the spine.

What are the three major bones that make up the knee?

The three major bones that make up the knee joint are the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap). These bones work together with ligaments, muscles, and cartilage to provide stability and facilitate movement in the knee joint.

How do you fix halo reach joints?

Get clear hobby glue and add it to the racket joint, on the actual groves and on the peg (which is on the side of the joint) then move the joint around to make sure the glue spreads well. It is best if you have fan near to help dry the joint as you are moving it around. If you want even tighter repeat this process. This can be used for the knee and elbow joints.

Do the metacarpal bones and proximal phalanges make up saddle joints?

The first metacarpophalangeal joint is a saddle joint. The other metacarpophalangeal joints are hinge joints.


Is a ball and socket joint found in the body?

No, the knee is not an example of this. The knee is an example of a hinge joint along with your elbow. The hip and shoulder joints are examples of a ball and socket joint as it has movement in all directions. Your knee can only move up and down like the hinge on a door. Hence that is why it is called a hinge joint!
