| ball-and-socket joint |
A joint in which the ball-like end of one bone fits into a cavity, or socket, of another. Human beings have two types of ball-and-socket joints - the hip and the shoulder. Because of their structure, ball-and-socket joints are more flexible than other joints, most of which act like hinges, moving back and forth in one plane.
