The knee and elbow both are uniaxial joints. This type is a synovial joint that permits movement around only one axis and in only one plane. The articulating ends of the bones form a hinge-shaped unity that allows only flexion and extension.
The knee contains a hinge joint, which allows movement in one plane, similar to a door hinge. The elbow contains a hinge joint as well, enabling flexion and extension movements.
They are hinge joints. The elbow has only one plane of motion (flexion & extension); however, the knee is considered a "modified hinge" because it has the flexion & extension as well as a rotational (pivot) component as well.
The elbow joint is a hinge joint.
hinge joints that allow movement in one plane, such as bending and straightening.
A modified hinge joint is a type of joint that has characteristics of both hinge and gliding joints, allowing flexion and extension as well as some degree of side-to-side movement. An example is the temporomandibular joint in the jaw.
Hinge joint.

The things on your legs, and the things on you arms!
The knee contains a hinge joint, which allows movement in one plane, similar to a door hinge. The elbow contains a hinge joint as well, enabling flexion and extension movements.
Menisci is present in the knee as it is weight baring joint.
the knee and the elbow are just 2 examples of hinge joints in the human body
The type of movable joint that most closely resembles the movement of a door is a hinge joint. Hinge joints allow movement in one plane (like a door swinging open and closed) and are typically found in the elbow and knee.
They are hinge joints. The elbow has only one plane of motion (flexion & extension); however, the knee is considered a "modified hinge" because it has the flexion & extension as well as a rotational (pivot) component as well.
A joint that permits movement. Such as shoulder, hip, elbow, knee.
Your elbow is a hinge joint in your body, as is your knee.
knee joint, arm joint and elbow joint
The hinge joint is a type of synovial joint that allows movement in one plane only, like a hinge on a door. Examples of hinge joints include the elbow and the knee joints. These joints allow for flexion and extension movements.
