ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Ball-and-socket joints, in which the rounded head of a bone fits into a large depression or socket, are found at the shoulder and hip joints. Both plane and ball-and-sockets joints are classified functionally as multiaxial joints.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synovial: Ball and Socket A ball and socket joint is an articulation between the rounded head of one bone (ball) and the concavity of another (socket). This type of joint is multiaxial: it permits flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and rotation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ball-and-socket joints, such as the shoulder and hip joints, allow backward, forward, sideways, and rotating movements.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ball and socket joint are present between humerus and pectoral girdle. These joints allows free movement of bone in all direction. e.g., shoulder jointds (humerus bone in socket of pectoral girdle) and hip joints femur bone in socket pelvic girdle.

Detailed explanation-5: -Ball-and-socket joints possess a rounded, ball-like end of one bone fitting into a cuplike socket of another bone. This organization allows the greatest range of motion, as all movement types are possible in all directions. Examples of ball-and-socket joints are the shoulder and hip joints (Figure 7).
