Question

Why are ball-and-socket joints important to a cricketer? Explain using an example.

Answer 1

Answer:

This is the best example of a ball and socket joint. Hip contains articulation between the head of the femur bone and acetabulum of the pelvis bone. The acetabulum is a depression like cup that is located on the inferolateral aspect of the pelvis.

Answer 2

Answer:

The ball and socket joint provides swinging and rotating movements. The articulating bone is received into the cavity of another bone, allowing the distal bone to move around three main axes with a common center. The joint has stabilizing ligaments that limit the directions and extent to which the bones can be moved.
