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.

Are gliding joints the same as hinge joints?
No, a gliding joint is where one bone slides over another bone, such as the patella over the distal end of the femur. A hinge joing is where one bone changes angles relative to another bone, such as the distal femur and the proximal tibia.
How do joints allow movement?
The two main functions of joints are for support and movement. Joints allow you to move your body and to support it and hold the bones together.

joints
Why do some body parts only move one direction and others many directions?

Because they are joints that hinge. A hinge can only go one direction. Like for example, a door hinges, and it can only go one direction unless you break the door. Then the door could go anywhere, but hinges only move one direction.
Allows bones to move backward in only one directions?
A hinge joint, like the knee or elbow, allows bones to move backward in only one direction. This type of joint allows for bending and straightening movements, providing stability and control during activities like walking or weightlifting.

What is the differences in the structure and functions of th four major kinds of moveable joints ball and socket hinge pivot and gliding?
there different in many ways, but the main reason why there so different is beacuse, the ball and socket let your joint move in all directions, like your hips and shoulders.the hinge joints can only move in one direction, like your finger joints.
