What type of synovial joint allows rotation along a long axis?
Pivot
Hinge
Ball and Socket
Saddle
The correct answer is: Pivot
A A pivot joint allows rotation along a long axis, such as the atlantoaxial joint between the first two vertebrae. B: A hinge joint only allows movement in one direction, such as the elbow joint. C: A ball and socket joint allows for movement in multiple directions, such as the shoulder joint. D: A saddle joint allows for movement in two directions, such as the thumb joint. However, it does not specifically allow for rotation along a long axis, making it an incorrect answer.
