then we will not be able to move our hand comfortable.

Answer 2

Answer:

• If the elbow had a gliding joint instead of hinge joint they glide in different direction instead of moving in one plane.
• The hinge joint is for flexion and extension. Hence, the gliding joint is very meant to be placed in the right place in the right direction.
• Gliding joints allow the bones to glide one another in any direction along any plane.
