Question

in which of the following is rotational movement possible?
multiple choice
condylar joint
ball - and - socket joint

suture joint

Explanation:

• Condylar joint: Allows flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction but not rotation.
• Ball - and - socket joint: Allows a wide range of movements including rotation. For example, the shoulder joint (a ball - and - socket joint) can rotate.
• Hinge joint: Allows movement similar to a door hinge (flexion and extension), no rotation.
• Suture joint: A fibrous joint (in the skull) with no movement.

Answer:

Ball - and - socket joint
