Which joint allows only rotation, the joint works by the end of one having a peg which fits into a ring formed by the other bone? Example:Top of the spinal column, between the axis and atlas bones of the neck. This allows us to turn, raise, and lower our head-this is critical in controlling balance and maintaining awareness.

Which joint allows only rotation, the joint works by the end of one having a “peg” which fits into a “ring” formed by the other bone? Example:Top of the spinal column, between the axis and atlas bones of the neck. This allows us to turn, raise, and lower our head-this is critical in controlling balance and maintaining awareness.

A	Ball & Socket Joint
B	Hinge Joint
C	Gliding Joint
D	Pivot Joint

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -pivot joint, also called rotary joint, or trochoid joint, in vertebrate anatomy, a freely moveable joint (diarthrosis) that allows only rotary movement around a single axis. The moving bone rotates within a ring that is formed from a second bone and adjoining ligament.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hinge joints allow movement in one direction, as seen in the knees and elbows. Pivot joints allow a rotating or twisting motion, like that of the head moving from side to side. Ball-and-socket joints allow the greatest freedom of movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Hinge joint’
