Which joints helps in moving head forward and backward?
The joints primarily responsible for moving the head forward and backward are the atlanto-occipital joints. These joints are located between the atlas (the first cervical vertebra) and the occipital bone of the skull. They allow for nodding movements, enabling the head to tilt forward and backward. Additionally, the cervical spine joints contribute to the overall range of motion in the neck.
What joints do you use to turn your head side to side?
The Cervical (neck) vertebrae.
What are the names of the three joints in your body?
The three main types of joints in the body are: ball-and-socket joints (hip and shoulder), hinge joints (knee and elbow), and pivot joints (neck).

What is jonit in your neck is it a ball snd socket or a plane jonit or a hinge jonit?
The joint in your neck is a combination of various types of joints, including ball-and-socket joints in the cervical spine and plane joints between the vertebrae. These joints allow for the range of motion and flexibility needed in the neck.
Is a neck a joint?
The neck is indeed a gliding joint. This is because it does not have to move in rigid movements in any particular direction.

Type of joints found in the neck?
The neck contains several types of joints, including the atlas and axis vertebrae which form the atlantoaxial joint allowing for rotation and nodding movements, as well as synovial joints between the cervical vertebrae that allow for flexion, extension, and lateral bending. Additionally, there are joints between the sternocleidomastoid muscles and the skull which allow for head rotation and tilting movements.
What three joints are mostly to need support with a pillow or bolster during massage?
ankles, knees, head/neck
What is the thing that is in between your head and shoulder's?
...your neck??
How does your head move?
Head movement involves a combination of muscles, joints, and neural signals. The primary joints responsible for head movement are the cervical vertebrae in the neck, allowing for rotation, flexion, and extension. Muscles around the neck, such as the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius, facilitate these movements by contracting and relaxing. Additionally, the vestibular system in the inner ear helps maintain balance and orientation while the head moves.
What are pivotal joints functions?
Pivotal joints allow for rotation around a central axis, such as the neck and forearm, enabling movements like rotation and turning. These joints are crucial for activities such as nodding the head, twisting the forearm, or shaking the head.
