Understanding Joint Types and Movements

Which type of joint is characterized by no movement and provides structural support?

• Diarthroses

• Synarthroses

• Amphiarthroses

• Hinge Joints

What is the primary function of amphiarthroses joints?

• Allow full rotation

• Provide structural support

• Offer stability and slight motion

• Allow motion in multiple planes

Identify the movement plane in which hinge joints primarily operate.

• Frontal plane

• Transverse plane

• Sagittal plane

• None

Which joint type allows movement in almost all directions and is found in the shoulders and hips?

• Hinge Joints

• Ball and Socket Joints

• Pivot Joints

• Planar Joints

Explain why synarthroses joints are important for the skull.

• They allow for rotational movement.

• They provide flexibility.

• They offer structural support and protection.

• They enable sliding movements.

Which movement plane divides the body into left and right halves?

• Frontal Plane

• Sagittal Plane

• Transverse Plane

• Coronal Plane

Describe a movement that occurs in the transverse plane.

• Lifting arms out to the sides

• Bending the knee

• Rotating the neck side to side

• Flexing the elbow

Which type of joint allows bones to slide over one another, such as in the wrist?

• Saddle Joints

• Planar Joints

• Condyloid Joints

• Pivot Joints

What is the primary movement plane for abduction and adduction?

• Sagittal Plane

• Frontal Plane

• Transverse Plane

• None

Analyze the role of diarthroses joints in athletic performance.

• They restrict movement to prevent injury.

• They allow a wide range of motion, enhancing flexibility and agility.

• They provide stability and support.

• They limit motion to a single plane.
