TYPES OF SYNOVIAL JOINTS: BALL AND SOCKET🦵🏼

#shorts
Synovial joints are freely mobile joints in which the articulating surfaces have no direct contact with each other.
There a 6 types of synovial joints, and today we're taking a closer look at the ball and socket joint.
🥎 The ball and socket joint has a ball-shaped surface of one rounded bone that fits into a cup-like depression of another bone.
The distal bone can move around in several axes with one common center, enabling the joint to move in many directions.

A great example is the hip joint -
The round head of the femur (ball) rests in the cup-like acetabulum (socket) of the pelvis.
It's highly mobile due to its structure and can perform many actions in different planes:
1️⃣ Flexion-extension
2️⃣ Internal/external rotation
3️⃣ Adduction-abduction
And it can also combine up to 3 different actions at the same time.
This variety of movement allows us to use our legs during daily activities in an ideal manner.
