4. Answer the following:
\n<\/strong>(a) What is a ball and socket joint?
\n(b) Which of the skull bones are movable?

Answer –\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

(a) The rounded end of one bone fits into the hollow space of other bone. This is called ball and socket joint. Ball and socket joints allow movements in all the directions, e.g. shoulder and hip can be moved in all directions.
\n(b) In skull, only lower jaw is movable.
\n(c) Our elbow cannot move backwards because it has hinge joints that allows movement in only one direction.
