question 5: which joint type allows you to turn your head side to side, like shaking
o\? a) hinge b) pivot c) saddle d) condylar whats your answer?
Pivot joints allow for rotational movement. Turning the head side - to - side like shaking "no" is a rotational movement enabled by the pivot joint in the neck (atlanto - axial joint). Hinge joints allow movement like a door hinge (flexion and extension), saddle joints allow for movement in two planes but not rotation like this, and condylar joints allow for movement in multiple planes but not pure rotation for head - shaking.
