which of the following statements about the temporomandibular joint is false? it is primarily a hinge joint. it permits small gliding movements. it permits flexion movements. it is a small but complex multiaxial joint. i dont know yet
The temporomandibular joint is a small but complex multiaxial joint that allows for gliding, flexion - like (opening - closing) and other movements. It is not primarily a hinge joint as it has more complex movement capabilities than a simple hinge joint which mainly allows for flexion and extension in one plane.
