Question: 1 / 50

Which synovial joint movement occurs in three directions or planes of motion?

Gliding

Saddle

Ball and Socket

The ball and socket joint allows for the most freedom of movement in three directions or planes of motion. While gliding, saddle, and pivot joints do allow for some movement in multiple directions, they are more limited compared to the ball and socket joint. Therefore, these other options are incorrect because they do not meet the criteria of allowing movement in three directions or planes. It is important to remember that each type of synovial joint has its own specific range of motion and functions, making it essential to know the differences between them for proper diagnosis and treatment of injuries.
