BallandSocketGelenke
BallandSocketGelenke, also known as ball-and-socket joints, are a type of synovial joint characterized by a spherical head (ball) that fits into a cup-like cavity (socket). These joints allow for a wide range of motion in multiple directions, including rotation, abduction, adduction, flexion, and extension. Due to their structure, ball-and-socket joints facilitate extensive mobility compared to other joint types.
The most prominent examples of ball-and-socket joints in the human body are the shoulder (glenohumeral joint)
Structurally, these joints consist of the spherical head (or ball) of one bone, a cup-shaped socket of
Ball-and-socket joints are vital for the mobility and versatility of the limbs but are also more susceptible
In summary, ball-and-socket joints are integral to the human body's musculoskeletal system, providing multidirectional movement and
