Question

question 7: which joint type is found between the metacarpal bones and the first phalanx of your fingers (knuckle), allowing movement but not full rotation? a) hinge b) condylar (ellipsoidal) c) pivot d) saddle what’s your answer?

Explanation:

Condylar (ellipsoidal) joints allow movement in two planes but not full - rotation. Hinge joints allow movement like a door hinge (mostly in one plane), pivot joints allow rotation around a single axis, and saddle joints have a more complex movement pattern. The joint between metacarpal bones and the first phalanx of fingers is a condylar joint.

Answer:

B. Condylar (Ellipsoidal)
