The type of joint responsible for bending our arms and legs is the hinge joint. Hinge joints allow movement in one plane, enabling flexion and extension, much like the way a door opens and closes. Examples of hinge joints include the elbow and knee, which facilitate the bending and straightening of the limbs.
