The knee joint primarily functions as a hinge joint, allowing for flexion and extension, which facilitates movements like walking and running. In contrast, the ankle joint is more complex, functioning as a pivot point that enables dorsiflexion and plantarflexion, as well as some degree of inversion and eversion. This allows the ankle to adapt to uneven surfaces and provide stability during various activities. Overall, while both joints contribute to lower limb mobility, they have distinct movements suited to their anatomical structure and functional roles.

What is the joints that we have the most of called?
ribs and vertebrae (semi mobile joints) vertebrae (cartilaginous joints) elbow & knee (hinged joints), hip and shoulder (ball and socket joints), neck (rotational glide), wrist (compound rotational).
What are joints that move in one direction?
Joints that allow movement in a single plane are called trochlear joints, also known as hinge joints. Examples of such joints are the knee and the humero-ulnar joint of the elbow. Technically the knee does rotate slightly in the last few degrees of extension which is called the "screw home mechanism", but is still considered a hinge joint.hinge
What are the differences in the 5 movable joints?
Ball-and-socket joints allow movement in all directions. They are the hip and shoulder joints. Hinge joints allow movement in one direction only. They are elbow, knee, and finger joints. A pivot joint allows partial rotation of the head. It is located between the first two vertebrae in the neck. Gliding joints, where the bones move a short distance sliding against each other, are in the wrist and ankle.
What is the difference between the joints at shoulders and knees?

What are all of the examples of a hinge joint?
The most typical hinge joints is the elbow, which attaches the Humerus to the Radius and Ulna.Some say the interphalangeal joints between the bones in your fingers are hinge joints; others call them condyloid jointsHinge joints that are a bit atypical, as they allow some limited rotation include the:knee, or tibiofemoral joint. This is the largest hinge joint. The patellofemoral joint, between the kneecap and thighbone, is not a hinge joint.. The knee is sometimes considered a modified hinge joint or a pivotal hinge joint.The Ankle is not a good example, its a saddle joint.The jaw (the temperomandibular joint) is sometimes called a hinge joint, but it has a gliding component as well and has more motion than a typical hinge joint.Hinge joints are synovial joints that only move on one plane (ex you can bring your arm up at your elbow but you can bend it sideways without rotating your shoulder.Generally, a hinge joint is found between two bones that move in two opposite directions (flexion and extension), as opposed to in many directions. For comparison, the hip joint and shoulder are not hinge joints, since they move the adjoining limb in several directions.

What joints move when you do a cartwheel?
When you do a cartwheel, your shoulder, elbow, and wrist joints move to support your upper body as it twists and rotates. Your hip, knee, and ankle joints also move to help propel your body forward and provide stability as you transition through the movement.
What Joint movements are involved in walking up the stairs?
Walking up the stairs involves flexion at the hip and knee joints to lift the leg, as well as plantar flexion at the ankle joint to push off the ground. Additionally, there is extension at the hip and knee joints to move the body up the stairs.

ribs and vertebrae (semi mobile joints) vertebrae (cartilaginous joints) elbow & knee (hinged joints), hip and shoulder (ball and socket joints), neck (rotational glide), wrist (compound rotational).
How would you compare immovable joints with movable joints?
Movable joints can be moved, immovable joints can not.
What bones are used when kicking?
The main joints in action are the fingers, wrist, elbows, shoulders. It is a fact however that the whole skeletal frame is used to transmit the energy to the these areas to move the ball.
What is an example of a gliding joint that kids will understand?
An example of a gliding joint that kids will understand is the joint in their wrists. This joint allows them to move their hands in different directions like up and down, side to side, and in circles. It helps them do activities like drawing, writing, and playing with toys.
