GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A hinge joint is a type of synovial joint that exists in the body and serves to allow motion primarily in one plane. [1] The hinge joint is made up of two or more bones with articular surfaces that are covered by hyaline cartilage and lubricated by synovial fluid.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synovial: Hinge This type of joint is uniaxial because it only permits movement in one axis. In the body, this axis of movement is usually bending and straightening, or flexion and extension. Examples include the elbow, knee, ankle, and interphalangeal joints.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).
