This type of joint allows side to side movement and up and down movement?
There are six joints that have movement. The plvotal joint is what allows up and down movement.
What motion occurs in the thumb?
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.
The type joint that allows the greatest degree of movement is the joint?
The ball-and-socket joint allows the greatest amount of movement, like the shoulder or hip.
Is the synovial ball in socket a amphiarthrodial joint?
No. An amphiarthrodial joint is a cartilaginous joint that allows minimal movement in a lot of different planes. The ball-in-socket joint is a triaxial synovial joint that allows movement in all three planes around all three axis.
What is the movement of a pivotal hinge joint?
A pivot joint allows movement around the joint. The movement is a pivot or turning. A pivot joint is found between the first and second vertebral joint. This allows you to turn your head.A pivot joint can make a rapid turning motion. When you look from one side to the other side you are making a pivotal movement. A dancer turns rapidly on 1 foot is making a pivotal movement. If you make it quick turn to go back the way you were coming that is a pivotal movement.

Cartilage that includes the hip knee and elbow?
This cartilage is called hyaline cartilage because it is like glass and very smooth. It allows for easy movement in the joint.
What does the synovial joint allow for?
This joint allows movement in many planes.
What is a fibrous joint that allows little to no movement?
A fibrous joint that allows no or little movement are called as Fixed joints or Immovable joints For e.g Sutures in the skull, peg and socket joint of the teeth or syndesmosis between the lower ends of tibia and fibula
What joint allows the greatest degree of movement?
Ball and socket joint, I believe
What type of joint allows movement up and down?
Ball and socket joint
A joint allows the body to make a wide range of movements?
A joint connects to bones and allows a range of movement that depends on what type of joint it is.
Type of joint that allows little or no movement?
Toes
What type of joint allows a wide range of movement?
Synnovial ball and socket joint allows movement in the most planes.
What is the pivotal joint?
A pivotal joint is a joint in the skeletal system that allows rotary movement, which is why it is also referred to as a rotary joint.
