Question

define the ball and socket joints​

Answer 1

Hey mate hope this is ur answer

"Ball-and-socket joints are classified functionally as multiaxial joints because they can move bones along several axes. The muscles that surround the joints permit the humerus and femur to move away from the body’s midline (abduction), toward the body’s midline (adduction), forward (flexion), and backwards (extension). The humerus and femur can also move around the joint in a full circle (circumduction) as well as rotate both medially and laterally around their axis. Other parts of the body, such as the wrist and ankles, require at least two separate joints working together to achieve all of the movements of the ball-and-socket joints.
