hinge joint
The femur and fibula are the names of bones. Bones are not joints; rather, joints are found where bones are connected. The joint located between the femur and fibula is called the knee joint.
The patellofemoral joint is found in the knee, between the kneecap and thighbone.
hinge joint
The knee actually has two joints. One is called the tibiofemoral joint and is between the thigh bone (femur) and the main shin bone (tibia). The other joint is formed by the thigh bone and the knee cap (patella) and is called the patellofemoral joint. The class of joints that these form are called synovial, or freely moving joints. The specific types are: tibiofemoral joint = hinge joint and the patellofemoral joint = gliding joint.
The patella is anterior to the joint between the femur and tibia. The patella is also known as the kneecap.
The hip socket or hip joint.
The type of joint formed between the femur and coxal bone is a ball-and-socket joint, specifically known as the hip joint. This type of joint allows for a wide range of motion in multiple directions.
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.
I call it my knee.
The patellofemral joint is where the patella glides on the femur.
The joint between the axial skeleton (specifically the sacrum) and the pelvic girdle is called the sacroiliac joint. This joint connects the spine to the hip bones and is important for weight-bearing and transferring forces between the upper body and lower body. The sacroiliac joint is a synovial joint with limited mobility, providing stability to the pelvis during activities such as walking and standing.
hip name: femuroacetabular joint joint type: ball and socket motion: flexion extension adduction and abduction circumduction
