Joint in the phalanges and metacarpals are: ___________?

Correct answer: D. condyloid joint

  • A. Pivot joint
  • B. Sagital plane
  • C. Hinge joint
  • D. condyloid joint

Explanation

The joints between the metacarpals and the proximal phalanges are metacarpophalangeal joints, which are condyloid and allow movement in two planes. The interphalangeal joints within the fingers are hinge joints, but those are not the metacarpal-to-phalangeal joints described here.
