Ball & Socket Joint

The Ball & Socket Joint model demonstrates the structure and function of this joint type in the human body. Using a plastic ball cut to form a socket, a rubber ball to represent the rounded bone head, and pipes as bones, this model illustrates the joint's wide range of movement, allowing rotation in multiple directions, much like the shoulder or hip. 

Learning Objective:

To explore the mechanics and movement range of a ball and socket joint, gaining insight into joint function and anatomy in the human body.
