The knee joint is a hinge joint, allowing movement in one plane like a door hinge. It is classified as a synovial joint, allowing for flexion and extension of the leg. The knee joint is formed by the articulation of the femur, tibia, and patella.
The knee joint is a hinge synovial joint, allowing for flexion and extension movements. It is composed of the femur, tibia, and patella, with structures such as ligaments and menisci providing stability and support.
A synovial joint exhibits a joint cavity. This cavity is filled with synovial fluid, which helps reduce friction between the articulating surfaces of the bones within the joint. Examples of synovial joints include the knee and shoulder joints.
articular
A synovial joint contains a fluid-filled joint cavity enclosed by an articular capsule. Some of them are enforced by ligaments. Synovial joints are freely movable and examples include the elbow joint and wrist joint.
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.
Hinge joint.
hinge joint
Synovial joints are all freely movable or diarthrotic. These joints have a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid that allows for smooth movement between the bones. Examples include the knee, elbow, and shoulder joints.
synovial joints have synovial cavities
This is a synovial joint. It is classified as pivot type of joint.
No of the joints listed are hinge joints; joints that allow only abduction and adduction. The knee is a synovial pivotal hinge The hip is a synovial ball and socket The shoulder is a synovial ball and socket The neck is complex combination of joints between the occipital bone and C1 - synovial condyloid; the C1 and C2 - synovial pivotal; and the C2 and C3, C3 and C4, C4 and C5, C5 and C6, C6 and C7, C7 to T1 - all cartilaginous symphysis
