In the superior extremity you have ball of humerus (Head) and socket (Glenoid cavity) of the scapula. In the inferior extremity, you have ball of femur (Head of femur) and socket ( Acetabulum) of hip bone.
The head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form a ball-and-socket joint known as the shoulder joint. This joint allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder.
No, the ulna and humerus do not form a ball and socket joint. The humerus articulates with the ulna at the elbow joint, which is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension. The humerus also forms a ball and socket joint with the scapula at the shoulder.
Ankle is a hinge joint. As it has 'pulley' shaped articular surfaces. Strong medial and lateral ligaments. And permits only two types of movements. Dorsiflexion and planter flex-ion. Movements are allowed in one plane around single axis.
The acetabelum is the hip socket. The "ball" joint of the hip fits into this socket so the leg can move properly.I think you mean Acetabulum, and it is the socket of the hip joint.
it is called the acetabulum (sp?) This is where the top (ball) of the femur fits into the socket (acetabulum) of the hip ... called a ball and socket joint
I think it might be a ball and socket joint of a universal joint.
The humerous and the glenoid fossa form the ball-socket joint.
The scapula articulates with the humerus to form the ball and socket joint at the shoulder, known as the glenohumeral joint. This joint allows for a wide range of motion in the shoulder.

pervis disease is a problem in your bones where ball on the leg joint is not fitted in the socket of the pelvis. I myself have this disease although I have a very rare form of it were it affects both legs.
The medical term is "articular surfaces." These are the areas on bones where they come together at joints to form depressions and hollows that allow for movement and stability.

An adarticulation is a form of diarthrodial articulation in which the articular surfaces are nearly flat, so they form an imperfect ball and socket joint.
'The hip socket is a ball-and-socket joint medically known as the acetabulofemoral joint. The hip socket supports the weight of the human body in both static and dynamic motions. It is one of the strongest - if not the strongest - joint in the human body.
