How does the movement of the rolled-up cylinder inside the half cylinder differ from the movement observed in a ball and socket joint?
How does the movement of the rolled-up cylinder inside the half cylinder differ from the movement observed in a ball and socket joint?
The cylinder inside a half cylinder allows back and forth rotational movement, similar to a hinge, while a ball and socket joint allows movement in multiple planes.
In the constructed model with the rolled-up cylinder and half cylinder, what specific type of movement does this joint simulate?
In the constructed model with the rolled-up cylinder and half cylinder, what specific type of movement does this joint simulate?
It simulates a hinge joint, which allows movement in one plane, typically back and forth.
How would you modify the cylinder and half-cylinder model to allow for a wider range of motion, more similar to a ball-and-socket joint?
How would you modify the cylinder and half-cylinder model to allow for a wider range of motion, more similar to a ball-and-socket joint?
To allow for a wider range of motion we would need to replace the half-cylinder with a spherical socket. The cylinder would also need to have modifications to be able to move in the new socket.
Compared to a real elbow joint, what is one limitation of the constructed model with the rolled-up cylinder?
Compared to a real elbow joint, what is one limitation of the constructed model with the rolled-up cylinder?
Explain how the constraint of the half-cylinder dictates the type of movement possible in the model.

Flashcards
Hinge Joint
Hinge Joint
A joint that allows movement in one plane, like a door hinge, enabling back and forth motion.
Ball and Socket Joint
Ball and Socket Joint
A joint where a rounded end of one bone fits into a cup-like depression in another, allowing movement in all directions.
Elbow Joint
Elbow Joint
The elbow joint only allows back and forth movement like a hinge.
Study Notes
- A hinge allows certain kinds of movement.
- A cylinder can be made from cardboard or thick chart paper.
- A small pencil can be attached to the cylinder's center.
- A hollow half-cylinder from cardboard allows the cylinder to sit inside and move like a hinge.
- The movement of the rolled-up cylinder differs from the ball and socket joint.
- The constructed model is different from a hinge joint, but demonstrates the direction of movement allowed.
- The elbow hinge joint allows only back and forth movement.
