Your thumb could bend in other ways and could be moved in a 360 degrees if it was a ball and joint, if it was a pivot it could only move in a straight line and not bend like we are used too, the thumbs are opposable so humans can grab things if a different joint is used it can have a harsh affect on the human structure and functions, a major consequence is that if this evolution happened suddenly now out technology could not comprehend with this evolution and we could lose our ability to use now day tools

Basically, your thumb is the only part of your body that has saddle joints. The bones in your saddles joint is responsible for moving back and forth, side to side. These joints are free enough to make any motion in your body. They are the only joints that can do 360 degrees and rotate with their own axis. But, because of its free-moving, it is prone to any dislocation compared to other movable joints.

What would happen if someone stabbed your leg with a syringe full of calcium and injected the calcium directly into your muscle?
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Cross-bridges would form in the absence of an action potential from a motor neuron.

Explanation:

The injected calcium ions would bind to troponin. Troponin would make tropomyosin move away from the myosin-binding sites on actin. The presence of free binding sites on the actin would be followed by the contraction cycle. This would include hydrolysis of ATP to energize myosin heads and binding of these heads to actin to form cross-bridges. Therefore, cross-bridge formation would occur without any action potential if calcium ions are injected directly into the muscle.
