Which of the following strange anatomy words is used to describe a joint that swings backward and forward like the hinge of a box or door?
Answer Ginglymus
A ginglymus joint is different from a condyloid joint. The former type of joint moves back and forth like a hinge, whereas the latter is a more complicated kind of joint, allowing movement forward and backward, or from side to side.
