Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Hinge joint
Concept:

Movement axes of synovial joints.

Formula:

N/A (Conceptual)

Solution:

  • The elbow and knee allow movement strictly in two directions along a single plane (flexion and extension).


  • Because their articulating surfaces are molded to permit motion in only one axis, they are classified as hinge joints.


Why other options are incorrect:

Ball and socket joints (like the hip) allow multi-directional, rotational movement. Immovable and slightly movable joints do not allow the wide range of motion seen in the knee and elbow.
