What type of movement does a hinge joint make?

Cup shaped depression on the hip joint that receives the head of the femur?

The cup-shaped depression on the hip joint that receives the head of the femur is called the acetabulum. It forms part of the hip bone structure known as the pelvis and allows for the articulation and movement of the femur within the hip joint. The acetabulum provides stability and support for the hip joint during weight-bearing activities.


Which joint allows for multiaxial movement?

Ball-and-Socket Joints. Smooth, hemispherical head fits within a cuplike socket. Only mutiaxial joints in the body are the shoulder joint - head of humerus into glenoid cavity of scapula and the hip joint - head of femur into acetabulum of hip bone.


Which is the most movable joint type?

The most movable joint in the body is the ball-and-socket joint, such as the hip joint and shoulder joint. These joints allow for a wide range of motion in multiple directions due to the spherical head of one bone fitting into the cup-like socket of another bone.
