APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -In ball and socket joint, one bone is hooked into hollow space of another bone. This type of joint helps in all directions and also rotatory movement. Eg: Shoulder.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ball-and-socket joints possess a rounded, ball-like end of one bone fitting into a cup-like 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ball-and-socket joints have the greatest range of motion of all synovial joints.

Detailed explanation-4: -The hip joint is known as a ball-and-socket joint. The rounded head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum, which is formed by the junction of the ilium, ischium, and pubis.

Detailed explanation-5: -The shoulders have a similar structure. Think about how you can swing your arms around the shoulder joint. This demonstrates the range of movement of a ball-and-socket joint. These are the types of the synovial joints (freely movable joints), that allow the most movement.
