hinge joint
ball and socket 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 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 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.
Proximally (towards the hip) the femur articulates (attaches to) the acetabulum which is made up of all three hip bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis. Distally (towards the foot) the femur articulates with the the tibia and fibula.
hip name: femuroacetabular joint joint type: ball and socket motion: flexion extension adduction and abduction circumduction
Pivot joint is the type found in the neck.
Ball and socket joint (also known as enarthrosis or spheriodal joint)
The type of joint found in the neck is known as a pivot joint. This is what will allow you to move your head in all directions.
No, The patella or kneecap is a thick, triangular bone which articulates with the femur and covers and protects the knee joint.
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.
