Which type of joint is found in the shoulder and hip, allowing for a wide range of movement?

AHinge joint

BBall and socket joint

CPivot joint

DSaddle joint

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

Ball and socket joints, like those in the shoulder (glenohumeral joint) and hip (acetabulofemoral joint), allow for rotational movement and a wide range of motion in multiple directions. These joints consist of a spherical head (ball) that fits into a cup-like cavity (socket). The design of ball and socket joints permits movements such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation. This extensive range of motion makes them critical for various daily activities and athletic movements.
