Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ankle joint is a hinge joint that allows movement in only one plane (dorsiflexion and plantarflexion). The interphalangeal joint is also a hinge joint, but it allows movement in only one plane (flexion and extension of the digits) and not between digits. The elbow joint is a hinge joint, but it allows movement in two planes (flexion and extension, as well as pronation and supination). The wrist joint is a condyloid joint, and the saddle joint is found in the thumb.
