rotators
No, an axis is not a pivot joint. An axis is an imaginary line around which a joint rotates, while a pivot joint is a specific type of joint that allows for rotation around a central point, like the joint in the neck that allows the head to rotate side to side.
A synovial joint moves the most freely.
During butterfly swimming, the shoulder joint mainly moves in extension and adduction, and the elbow joint primarily moves in extension. The hip joint moves in extension and adduction, while the knee joint moves in extension and slight internal rotation. The ankle joint moves in plantarflexion and inversion.
The hip joint usually moves first when walking, followed by the knee joint and then the ankle joint. This sequence allows for smooth and efficient movement while supporting the body's weight and maintaining balance.
The first cervical vertebra, called the atlas, pivots around the second cervical vertebra, known as the axis, when the head moves from side to side. This unique joint allows for the head's rotational movements.

The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint, which allows movement in multiple directions. It primarily moves in flexion and extension (sagittal plane), abduction and adduction (frontal plane), and internal and external rotation (transverse plane).
No, an axis is not a pivot joint. An axis is an imaginary line around which a joint rotates, while a pivot joint is a specific type of joint that allows for rotation around a central point, like the joint in the neck that allows the head to rotate side to side.
Between atlas and axis
You have hinges in the door of your house. The door moves around one axis only. Like wise the knee and elbow joint also move around one axis. This is the reason, why these joints comes under the hinge joint category.
A hinge joint is not immovable. A hinge joint has one plane of motion. A good illustration of a hinge joint is the knee joint.
A synovial joint moves the most freely.
the pivot and hinge joints. they can only move back and forth in one direction, as apposed the the biaxial joint, condyloid, and saddle which can move back and forth in 2 different directions and the multiaxial joint Ball and socket joint which can move in many directions.
During butterfly swimming, the shoulder joint mainly moves in extension and adduction, and the elbow joint primarily moves in extension. The hip joint moves in extension and adduction, while the knee joint moves in extension and slight internal rotation. The ankle joint moves in plantarflexion and inversion.
rotationUNIAXIAL ROTATIONyesThe pivot joint moves by twisting and rotating around.It is located at the neck and lower arm. The pivot joint is one of the four types of the moveable joints.The only immovable joint is at the skull. :)moveRotationuniaxial rotationUniaxial rotationA pivot joint permits lateral rotation or side to side movement. An example of this type of joint in your body is the C2 vertebra, called axis. The axis (a pivot joint) allows you to shake your head to indicate no.movement allowed in a pivot joint is known as?
No, the axis is located in the neck.
