Question

1. where in the body would you find a gliding joint, which allows bones to * 1 point slide past each other?

a. one bone rotates around another (supination/pronation)
b. one bone moves back and forth like a door hinge (flexion/extension)
c. flat bone surfaces slide over each other with limited movement (wrist/ankle)
d. a rounded bone fits into a cup - shaped socket for full rotation (hip/shoulder)

Explanation:

A gliding joint has flat bone surfaces that slide over each other with limited movement. Option C describes this characteristic and also mentions common locations (wrist/ankle) where gliding joints are found. Option A describes a pivot joint (rotation around another bone). Option B describes a hinge joint (movement like a door hinge). Option D describes a ball - and - socket joint (rounded bone in cup - shaped socket for full rotation).

Answer:

C. Flat bone surfaces slide over each other with limited movement (wrist/ankle)
