Which of these joints is a saddle joint?
Saddle joints are also known as sellar joints. These highly flexible joints are found in various places in the body, including the thumb, shoulder, and inner ear.
Is the thumb the only saddle joint in the body?
Answer and Explanation: No, the thumb is not the only saddle joint in the body. Although the thumb is one of the best examples of a saddle joint because we can easily observe the movement of the joint, there are two other saddle joints.
Which synovial joint is saddle type?
Synovial joints are often further classified by the type of movements they permit. There are six such classifications: hinge (elbow), saddle (carpometacarpal joint), planar (acromioclavicular joint), pivot (atlantoaxial joint), condyloid (metacarpophalangeal joint), and ball and socket (hip joint).
