Use your textbook to determine the specific structural classification and axes of rotation of each of the following joints. Name each major structural group as well as the specific type. Joint Structural Classification Shoulder (glenohumeral) Elbow (humeroulnar) Proximal Radioulnar Middle Radioulnar Interphalangeal (fingers/toes) Hip Knee Number of Axes of Rotation (synovial jts only)

Step 1
Interphalangeal Joint: This joint is found between the phalanges (bones of the fingers and toes). It is a synovial joint and is classified as a hinge joint. It allows for flexion and extension movements. It has one axis of rotation. Show more…
