Detailed explanation-1: -In a ball and socket joint, a bone ending with a ball-like structure fits into the socket of an adjacent bone. The bone with a ball-like structure has the capability to move nearly in all directions. These joints are present in hip joint and shoulder joints.
Detailed explanation-2: -The shoulder and wrist joint belong to the category of ball and socket joint. It is a type of synovial joint in which the ball-shaped surface of one rounded bone fits into the cup-like depression of another bone.
Detailed explanation-3: -The joint is able to rotate freely in all directions, allowing the ball to move within the socket in a circular motion. This allows the joint to perform a wide range of movements, including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation.
