Is the neck a pivot hinge or a ball and socket?
The neck primarily functions as a pivot joint, specifically at the atlantoaxial joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae. This allows for rotation of the head. Additionally, the neck has some characteristics of a ball-and-socket joint at the atlanto-occipital joint, which enables nodding motions. Overall, the neck's movement is a combination of these joint types, with pivot being the predominant function.
