Q

What type of joint is the hip?
A. Ball and socket
B. Hinged
C. Pivot
D. Gliding

A

A. Ball and socket joints have full ROM (ex. hip, shoulders)

Hinged joints only allow a small range of motion (ex. humerus c ulna and radius). Pivot joints allow a wide ROM but not as much as ball and socket joints. Gliding allows sliding motion between 2 bones.
