Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option A: Humerus and radio-ulna
Concept:

Classification of synovial joints based on movement.

Formula:

N/A (Conceptual)

Solution:

  • A hinge joint allows movement in only one plane (flexion and extension), similar to the hinge of a door.


  • The joint between the humerus (upper arm) and the radio-ulna (forearm) forms the elbow joint, which is a classic example of a hinge joint.


Why other options are incorrect:

Femur and acetabulum (hip joint) and Humerus and pectoral girdle (shoulder joint) are both examples of ball-and-socket joints, which allow multi-directional movement.
