GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hinge joints function by allowing flexion and extension in one plane with small degrees of motion in other planes. [4] The hinge joint is an essential component of the complex biomechanics of the human body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ball and socket joints: these joints allow the widest range of movement, and permit side to side, back and forth and rotational movements (tri-axial – flexion and extension, abduction and adduction, rotation, circumduction – sagittal, frontal and transverse planes).

Detailed explanation-3: -plane joint, also called gliding joint or arthrodial joint, in anatomy, type of structure in the body formed between two bones in which the articular, or free, surfaces of the bones are flat or nearly flat, enabling the bones to slide over each other.

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.
