What is a longitudinal axis for a bone?

The longitudinal axis of a bone is an imaginary line that runs along the length of the bone from one end to the other.

Understanding the longitudinal axis is important in biomechanics and in the study of bone structure and function.

The type of joint that allows the rounded end of one bone to fit into a ring of bone for rotational movement is called a pivot joint. An example of this is the joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae (the atlas and axis), which enables the head to turn from side to side. Pivot joints facilitate rotational motion while allowing for limited movement in other directions.
