Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hinge joints, such as the elbow joint, are synovial joints. Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a synovial membrane, which secretes synovial fluid to lubricate and nourish the joint. Hinge joints are responsible for flexion and extension movements, and include other joints such as the knee and ankle joints. Fibrous joints are characterized by the presence of fibrous tissue, and do not allow much movement. Cartilaginous joints are characterized by the presence of cartilage, and allow limited movement.
