question 16
hinge joints are capable of
elevation and flexion
adduction and abduction
depression and elevation
flexion and extension
all of the above
Hinge joints, like the elbow or knee, allow movement in one plane. Flexion (bending) and extension (straightening) are their primary movements. Elevation (raising) and depression (lowering) are more associated with other joint types (e.g., shoulder for elevation/depression in some aspects). Adduction (moving toward mid - line) and abduction (moving away from mid - line) are not the main movements of hinge joints.
