GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -[3][4] The hinge joints of the body include the elbow, knee, interphalangeal (IP) joints of the hand and foot and the tibiotalar joint of the ankle.

Detailed explanation-2: -The elbow joint is a synovial hinge joint, similar to the ankle and knee joints. Two or more bones form hinge joints that move along an axis, rather than rotate like the hip joint. The distal humerus and proximal ulna are the primary elbow joint bones. The hinge joint allows the elbow to bend and straighten.

Detailed explanation-3: -The knee is the largest hinge joint in the human body. Hinge and pivot joints are both types of synovial joint. A hinge joint can be considered a modified sellar/saddle joint, with reduced movement.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hinge joints. Hinge joints, such as in the fingers, knees, elbows, and toes, allow only bending and straightening movements. Pivot joints. Pivot joints, such as the neck joints, allow limited rotating movements.
