Hinge Joint

The Hinge Joint model demonstrates how this type of joint allows movement in one direction, similar to a door hinge. Using two pipes joined by a nut and bolt, this model mimics the function of hinge joints in the human body, like those in the knee and elbow, which permit bending and straightening movements. 

Learning Objective:

To understand the movement restriction and mechanics of a hinge joint, highlighting its role in enabling flexion and extension in certain body parts.
