Question

question 26

the hip joint is a good example of a(n) ________ synovial joint.

a - biaxial
b - multiaxial
c - uniaxial
d - nonaxial

Explanation:

Identify the joint type

Using the Hip Muscle Functions knowledge point, the hip joint is a ball-and-socket synovial joint.

Analyze functional classification

Synovial joints are classified by their axes of motion: uniaxial (one plane), biaxial (two planes), or multiaxial (three planes).

Determine hip joint mobility

The hip joint allows flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and rotation, making it a multiaxial joint.

Answer:

• A - biaxial
• B - multiaxial (Correct answer)
• C - uniaxial
• D - nonaxial
