Answer 1

Answer 62. GLENOHUMERAL JOIN ARE MULTIAXIAL JOINT

EXPLANATION

Glenohumeral join is also called as shoulder joint it a ball and socket joint between the scalula and the humerus.

Multiaxial joint is joint that allows for the several directions of movement. This type of diarthrotic joint allows for movement along three axes. They allow the upper limb or lower limb to move in an anterior-Posterior direction and a medial-lateral direction so the limb can also be rotated around it long axis. This third movement results in rotation of the limb so that its Anterior surface is moved either toward or away from the midline of the body.

EXPLANATION OF OTHER OPTIONS

HUMEROULNAR JOINT is a part of elbow joint which is structurally a hinge joint or synovial joint.

Or uniaxial joint this join only allows for a motion in a single plane around a single axis. Elbow joint or humeroulnar joint which allows for bending or straightening is an example of uniaxial joint.

TIBIOFEMRAL JOINT between the condyles of the femur and condyles of tibia are modified hinge joint that allows for knee extension and flexion it is also a uniaxial joint

TALOCRURAL JOINT is also called as ankle joint it a synovial hinge joint that connects the bones of the leg ,the fibula and tibia ,with the talus of the foot it is also uniaxial joint.

INTERPHALANGEAL JOINT of the hand are synovial hinge joints between the phalanges of finger. It is also a uniaxial joint.

As we already discussed about multiaxial and uniaxial joint here is some brief about a Biaxial joint. Biaxial joint    allows for motion within two planes example is a metacarpophalangeal joint of the hand.
