Question
Chapter 27, Problem 10SQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The presence of ball-and-socket joints in humans and hinge joints in horses that affect the movements they perform.
Concept introduction:
The bones of the skeleton are joint to each other by strong fibrous tissues known as ligaments. There are four types of moveable joints that are present namely hinge joint, ball-and-socket joint, pivot joint, and gliding joint.

Differentiate flexion from torsion. Why do these events occur in the developing embryo?
An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.
Give an example of where circumduction but not rotation can occur
