What is Ball socket joint?
Ball-and-socket joints allow a wider range of motion than hinge joints.
What is the acetabelum?
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.
Is the shoulder a ball-and-socket joint?
No; the elbow has a hinge joint, but does not have a ball and socket joint.
Articulates with the coxal bone?
The femur articulates with the coxal bone at the hip joint. This joint is a ball-and-socket joint, allowing for a wide range of movement in the hip. The femur head fits into the acetabulum of the coxal bone.
What concave socket exists on the lateral surface of each hip bone?
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
How do you think the ball-and-socket joint got its name?
The ball-and-socket joint is named for its structure, in which one bone has a spherical head that fits into a cup-like socket of another bone, allowing for a wide range of motion in all directions. This joint resembles a ball (head of one bone) fitting into a socket (cup-shaped cavity of another bone), hence the name.
Which type of joint allows movement in all direction?
A ball and socket joint allows movement in all directions. This type of joint is formed when a bone with a rounded end fits into a socket-like structure of another bone, allowing for rotational as well as angular movements. Examples include the hip and shoulder joints.
What is the name of a jont where the head of one bone fits into the socket of another?
No.1 Head of the humerus is fixed in socket of glenoid cavity or scapula thus forming shoulder joint. No.2 Head of femur in acetabulum of hip bone forming hip joint.
Joint found in hips and shoulders?
The joint found in the hips and shoulders is called a ball-and-socket joint. This type of joint allows for greater range of motion in multiple directions, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation. The ball-shaped end of one bone fits into the socket-like cavity of another bone, providing stability and mobility.

Is the shoulder a ball-and-socket joint?
No; the elbow has a hinge joint, but does not have a ball and socket joint.
What type of joint allows the shoulder to rotate?
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, allowing for a wide range of motion including rotation. The humerus bone fits into the shallow socket of the scapula, allowing for rotation along with other movements.
Articulates with the coxal bone?
The femur articulates with the coxal bone at the hip joint. This joint is a ball-and-socket joint, allowing for a wide range of movement in the hip. The femur head fits into the acetabulum of the coxal bone.

Type of joint found in the sholder and hip?
Ball and socket joints are found in the shoulder and hip. These joints allow for a wide range of motion in multiple directions, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation. The rounded head of the bone fits into the cup-shaped socket of the other bone in these joints.
Why does the shape of the joint allows the neck to move?
The shape of the joint, called a ball-and-socket joint, allows for a wide range of motion because of its design. The rounded end of one bone fits into the cup-like socket of another bone, providing stability and flexibility for movement in multiple directions. This structure allows the neck to move freely in all directions, including rotation, flexion, and extension.
