A Ball-And-Socket is an Example of A(n) ____ Joint.

Question

A ball-and-socket is an example of a(n) ____ joint.​
A) ​uniaxial
B) ​biaxial
C) ​multiaxial
D) ​hinge

Accepted Answer

A ball-and-socket joint allows for movement in multiple directions (such as rotation, flexion, and extension) and is therefore considered a multiaxial joint. Uniaxial joints only allow for movement in one plane, biaxial joints allow for movement in two planes, and hinge joints allow for movement in only one direction (like a door hinge).
