Answer:

The saddle joint that can be found in the thumbs ensures that it moves from side to side and rotate on its own axis alone.

The saddle joint allows movement in different directions but only a small amount of rotation. The thumb is the only organ that has a saddle joint.

It should be noted that the bones that are in the saddle joint ensure the back and forth movement of the thumbs.

The pivot joint is the joint that's responsible for ensuring that one bone rotates around another bone. Ball and socket joint can be found in the shoulder and the hip and it allows for greater freedom of movement.

When compared to other movable joints, the saddle joint is prone to dislocation because it's free-moving and rotates on its own axis alone.

In conclusion, if the thumb contained a pivot joint or a ball and socket joint, it'll be able to move more freely.



 I hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Explanation:

if the thumb had a pivot point joint, the thumb will not be as flexible and only be able to movie in a rotary motion.

A ball and socket joint will help movement in all directions and has a greater range of movement when in comparison to other joints.

Alekssandra [29.7K]
I would suggest Mexican and Latin foods since they most likely rice and corn based. You can also try out Caribbean its a pretty good option and it has really good tasting food that are gluten free. And even if the food isn’t gluten free Mexican and Latin food can easily be converted into a gluten free version of the food.

Enjoy.

Post your favorite Dynamic warm-up and Static cool down activity along with directions on how to do each activity
love history [14]

Dynamic Warm-up:

A good dynamic warm-up is jumping jacks. You jump up, land with your legs about shoulder width apart and arms up, jump again and land with your arms down and legs together, and repeat those steps!

Static cool down:

And good static cool down is low lunges. You  step out really far and lean into your leg, while the other stretches out behind you. Dot the same with other leg, and repeat a few times!
