Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the classification of synovial joints. Synovial joints are categorized based on their movement and structure. Examples include hinge, ball-and-socket, pivot, and others.
Step 2: Define a hinge synovial joint. Hinge joints allow movement in one plane, similar to the motion of a door hinge. This includes flexion and extension movements.
Step 3: Review the anatomy of the elbow joint. The elbow joint is a hinge synovial joint formed by the articulation of the humerus, radius, and ulna. It allows flexion and extension of the forearm.
Step 4: Compare the elbow joint to other options provided. The shoulder and hip joints are ball-and-socket joints, allowing multi-directional movement. The atlantoaxial joint is a pivot joint, allowing rotational movement.
Step 5: Conclude that the elbow joint is the correct example of a hinge synovial joint based on its structure and movement characteristics.
