English: This diagram shows the anatomy of the ball and socket joint found in the hip. A ball and socket joint is a type of synovial joint in which the round surface of one bone fits into a round depression of another bone. 1.) The femur 2.) Femoral neck 3.) Femoral head 4) Acetabulum 5.) Acetabular Labrum 6.) Pelvis.
The ball-and-socket joint (or spheroid joint) is a type of synovial joint in which the ball-shaped surface of one rounded bone fits into the cup-like depression of another bone. The distal bone is capable of motion around an indefinite number of axes, which have one common center. This enables the joint to move in many directions.
The hip joint is classified as a ball and socket joint. This type of synovial joint allows for multidirectional movement and rotation. There are two bones that make up the hip joint and create an articulation between the femur and pelvis. This articulation connects the axial skeleton with the lower extremity.
In anatomy, the thigh is the area between the hip and the knee.Anatomically, it is part of the lower limb. [1]The single bone in the thigh is called the femur.This bone is very thick and strong (due to the high proportion of bone tissue), and forms a ball and socket joint at the hip, and a modified hinge joint at the knee.
In an automobile, ball joints are spherical bearings that connect the control arms to the steering knuckles. They are used on virtually every automobile made [4] and work similarly to the ball-and-socket design of the human hip joint. [5] A ball joint consists of a bearing stud and socket enclosed in a casing; all these parts are made of steel ...
A spherical S joint or ball and socket joint requires that a point in the moving body remain stationary in the fixed body. This joint has three degrees of freedom, corresponding to rotations around orthogonal axes. A planar joint requires that a plane in the moving body maintain contact with a plane in fixed body. This joint has three degrees ...
A ball (inner) joint is shown on the left side and a socket (outer) joint is shown on the right side. The ground glass surfaces are shown with gray shading. By putting them together in the direction of the arrows, they can be joined, usually with a little grease spread on the ground glass surfaces.
In vertebrate anatomy, the hip, or coxa [1] (pl.: coxae) in medical terminology, refers to either an anatomical region or a joint on the outer (lateral) side of the pelvis.. The hip region is located lateral and anterior to the gluteal region, inferior to the iliac crest, and lateral to the obturator foramen, with muscle tendons and soft tissues overlying the greater trochanter of the femur.
