Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The articulation between the humerus and ulna forms a hinge joint, which allows for movement in only one plane (flexion and extension) similar to a door hinge. The humerus and radius form a pivot joint, while the femur and tibia form a hinge joint, and the fibula does not directly articulate with the femur.
