The joint that allows you to move your heel is the subtalar joint, located between the talus and calcaneus bones in the foot. This joint enables the foot to perform inversion and eversion movements, which are essential for walking and balancing. Additionally, the ankle joint (talocrural joint) also contributes to heel movement by allowing the foot to flex and extend. Together, these joints facilitate various movements of the heel and foot.

Why does the shape of the joint allows the neck to move?
The shape of the joint, called a ball-and-socket joint, allows for a wide range of motion because of its design. The rounded end of one bone fits into the cup-like socket of another bone, providing stability and flexibility for movement in multiple directions. This structure allows the neck to move freely in all directions, including rotation, flexion, and extension.
What is joint movement when you move your lower jaw forward?

How does the shoulder and elbow move in different ways?
The shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint that allows for greater range of motion, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation, and external rotation. The elbow joint is a hinge joint that primarily allows for flexion and extension movements. This difference in joint structure contributes to the varying degrees of movement in the shoulder and elbow.
