Anatomy and Functionality of Human Joints Quiz

Facilitates the nodding movement of the head between the atlas and the occipital bone.

Facilitates bending (flexion) and straightening (extension) of the forearm.

Enables movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning.

Allows movement primarily in one direction, like bending and straightening.

Refers to the extent of movement that a joint is capable of.

Allows movement in multiple directions due to its spherical structure.

Lubricates the joint to minimize friction during movement.

Provide stability by connecting bones to bones.

Provides cushioning, reduces friction, and absorbs shock during movement.

Enables rotation around its axis, allowing rotational movements like turning the head.

Attach muscles to bones, facilitating movement.

Acts as a shock absorber and enhances stability in the knee joint.

Mainly provides stability with minimal or no movement.

Fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between tendons, ligaments, and bones.

Degeneration of cartilage in the knee joint, leading to pain and stiffness.

Frequently injured during activities involving sudden stops or changes in direction.

Acts as a shock absorber, distributes load, and reduces friction in the knee joint.
