    Question 4
    Answer the following:
    (a) What is a ball and socket joint?
    (b) Which of the skull bones are movable?
    (c) Why can our elbow not move backwards?
    Answer 4
    a) This is the type of joint in which The rounded end of one bone fits into the cavity (hollow space) of the other bone. Such a joint allows movements in all directions which is called as ball and socket joint. for ex:bones of hip
    b) Lower jaw is movable
    c) Our elbow join is a example of hinge joints which only allow back to forth movements. So it cannot move backwards
