your elbow does this because it has a hinge joint. a hinge joint is also found in your knee
A door hinge is a mechanical example of a pivot joint. It allows the door to swing open and closed around a fixed point.
*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.
The shoulder joint is a ball and socket joint, which is the type that allows the greatest range of movement. it allows the arm to move forward and backward (as when you swing your arms while walking); abduction and adduction (as in jumping jacks); and many intermediate movements.
You use the pivot joint in various sports such as tennis, basketball, and golf. This joint allows for rotational movement of the bones, facilitating actions like swinging a racket, dribbling a ball, or rotating the torso during a golf swing.
The joint where bones meet and join solidly are called a fixed or immovable joint. These joints do not allow for movement and provide stability and support to the body. Examples include the joints between the bones of the skull.
A door hinge is a mechanical example of a pivot joint. It allows the door to swing open and closed around a fixed point.
The joint that allows the forearm to swing in all directions.
Tennis Elbow aka Epicondylitis, often occurs as a result of strenuous overuse of the muscles and tendons of the forearm and around the elbow joint. These Tendons attach to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
There are many types of joints. One is the ball and socket joint. It allows us to swing our arms in circles. Second is the hinge joint. It is found in our knee. It works like the hinge on a door. It allows our leg to move back and forth in one direction.
Hi! My name is Arthropoidal.
a swing set is machanism that allows children to swing back and forth.
You don't have any such joint in your body. Hinge joint, gliding joint, pivot joint, ball and socket, and saddle joint are the ones found. Perhaps you mean pivot. Look here for more information: http://jeffsims.net/flash/skeleton.html
tennis,baseball, or any sport that requires a player to swing his are excessively
The hip joint is a ball and socket joint so it possible to move the leg around in a 360 degree circle. The knee joint is a pivotal hinge joint so it can only move backwards and forwards with slight rotation.
Biceps and brachioradialis. The bicep is the prime mover in elbow joint movement and the brachioradialis acts as a synergistic muscle to stabilize the joint, thus aiding in the motion.

Hopefully, you will never break your elbow because it is painful and it could cause you never to be able to move your elbow without discomfort or pain again. With that said, a broken elbow can be the result of jumping off a swing, falling down stairs, other types of falls, abuse from one person to another, or other causes.
