Correct answer: CBall-and-socket joint
Ball-and-socket joints permit movement around multiple axes, including flexion, extension, rotation, abduction, and adduction.
Correct answer: AFlexion
Flexion brings two body segments closer together by decreasing the angle between them, as when bending the elbow.
Correct answer: DElbow joint
The elbow mainly permits flexion and extension around a single axis, which is characteristic of a hinge joint.
Correct answer: BMovement away from the body's midline
Abduction moves a body part away from the midline, such as raising an arm sideways from the body.
Correct answer: ATo reduce friction and distribute loads across joint surfaces
Articular cartilage provides a smooth, resilient surface that helps bones move with minimal friction while distributing mechanical forces.
Correct answer: CInversion
Inversion turns the plantar surface of the foot medially, whereas eversion turns it laterally.
Correct answer: BTo connect bones and help stabilize joints
Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that link bones to other bones and help limit excessive joint movement.
Correct answer: CSupination
During supination, the radius and ulna become approximately parallel, positioning the palm upward in the standard bent-elbow example.
Correct answer: DSagittal plane
The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right portions, and movements such as flexion and extension generally occur within this plane.
Correct answer: AA circular movement combining flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction
Circumduction combines several angular movements so that the distal end of a limb traces a roughly circular path.
