Answer the following question given this paragraph: 9.6 | Anatomy of Selected Synovial Joints By the end of this section, you will be able to: Describe the bones that articulate together to form selected synovial joints Discuss the movements available at each joint Describe the structures that support and prevent excess movements at each joint Each synovial joint of the body is specialized to perform certain movements. The movements that are allowed are determined by the structural classification for each joint. For example, a multiaxial ball-and-socket joint has much more mobility than a uniaxial hinge joint. However, the ligaments and muscles that support a joint may place restrictions on the total range of motion available. Thus, the ball-and-socket joint of the shoulder has little in the way of ligament support, which gives the shoulder a very large range of motion. In contrast, movements at the hip joint are restricted by strong ligaments, which reduce its range of motion but confer stability during standing and weight bearing. This section will examine the anatomy of selected synovial joints of the body. Anatomical names for most joints are derived from the names of the bones that articulate at that joint, although some joints, such as the elbow, hip, and knee joints are exceptions to this general naming scheme. Q: A multiaxial ball-and-socket joint has much more mobility than a what hinge joint? Choices: - triaxial - biaxial - quadaxial - uniaxial A:
uniaxial
