Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ball and socket joint allows for the greatest range of motion in all directions, as it involves a spherical articulation between the rounded end of one bone (the ball) and the cup-shaped socket of another bone. This type of joint is found in the hip and shoulder joints, allowing for movements such as rotation, flexion, extension, adduction, and abduction.
