a joint called the hinge joint allows you to bend and straighten your knees!!:)
Hinge joint in the knee allows you to kneel down.
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.
A hinge joint is a joint that can only move back and forth like a regular door. It allows the joint to bend and straighten, but does not rotate. An example is the elbow joint. A hinge joint is one of several types of bone joints found in the human body; it is used to connect the humerus and the ulna, which are found in the arm. More information visit the Related Link.
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.
A hinge joint. Using your knee as an example of what this means: Standing up you can bend the knee so that your leg is bent behind you, but you cannt twist it or move it in any other way. This is what it is meant by only one plane of movement. Other joints such as your shoulder allow you to move your arm in many different ways meaning it has several planes of movement.
The knee joint is located in the leg at the knee. It is a type of hinge joint.
pivotal hinge joint that allows flexion, extension as well as slight medial and lateral movement.
Hinge joint in the knee allows you to kneel down.
The tibiofemoral joint is a type of synovial joint located between the tibia and femur bones in the knee. It is a hinge joint that allows for flexion and extension movements.
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.
The pivotal hinge joint that allows flexing, extension as well as slight medial and lateral movement.
The hinge 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.
the knee and the elbow are just 2 examples of hinge joints in the human body
Hinge joint.
hinge joint
Anatomically: pivotal hinge jointStructurally: synovial jointFunctionally: uniaxial jointThe knee joint joins the thigh with the leg and consists of two articulations: one between the femur and tibia, and one between the femur and patella. It is the largest and most complicated joint in the human body.The knee is a mobile trocho-ginglymus (i.e. a pivotal hinge joint), which permits flexion and extension as well as a slight medial and lateral rotation.
