Hinge joints

Answer 35

(e.g Knee, elbow, and fingers) permit extension and flexion. Some hinge joints allow hyperextension.

Question 36

Ball and socket joints

head of femur into the acetabulum

Question 37

Diarthrodial joints

Answer 37

synovial joints because they are lined with fluid

Question 38

difference between ligaments and tendons

Answer 38

Ligaments: strong, dense, flexible bands of connective tissue that hold bones to bones. Provide support in several ways: encircling the joint, gripping it obliquely, or lying parallel to the bone ends across the joint. Can simultaneously allow some movements while restricting others
Tendons: strong, nonelastic cords of collagen located at the ends of muscles to attach them to bones. Support bone movement in response to skeletal muscle contractions, transmitting remarkable force at times from the contracting muscles to the bone without sustaining injury themselves
