b. An example of a ball and socket joint is _____.
c. A joint in which the cylindrical protrusion of one bone articulates with a trough-shaped depression of an adjacent bone, and the movements are restricted to one plane. Hence this joint is called _____.
d. An example of a hinge joint is _____.
e. A round or pointed structure of one bone articulates with a ring-shaped structure of the adjacent bone. In the regions where this type of joint is present, the movement is restricted to one plane. Hence this joint is called ____.
f. It is a joint similar to the ball and socket joint, as in this joint, an oval articular surface or condyle is received into an elliptical cavity. Hence this joint is called_____.
g. In this joint, the articulating surfaces are almost flat and are of similar size. This joint allows movement in three planes: up and down, left and right, and diagonally. Hence this joint is called_____.
