Which is the most flexible joint in our body??

The joint with the greatest degree of freedom in rotation and angles achievable would probably be the shoulder joint where the humerus connects to the scapula in the glenoid fossa.\n\nThe degree of motion in this joint is remarkable, and is probably a legacy of the brachiation ability of our ape forebears.\n\nThe flexibility of this joint also probably costs us too, as it is probably one of the most easily injured joints.  Dislocated shoulders and torn rotator cuffs are probably a result of this flexibility, as the joint is not well protected with connective tissue, large slabs of muscle or shelves of bone.

Unfortunately there's no real answer to the question- we really need to clarify the term 'stronger'.\n\nIn terms of rigidity, youngs modulus and flexural strength, the answer is clearly bone.  However, in terms of ability to exert a force, elasticity and tolerance of impact damage in general, the answer would be muscle.

It is the joint that the psiatic nerve travels through. It is directly above the pelvis.

The largest bone in the human body is known as the femur.  This is the bone that connects your hip and your knee.  A lot of elderly people suffer fractures, (broken bones) of the hip which is the top portion of the femur bone where it goes in a socket.  This socket is something like your elbow or your knee.    from, Jill,R.N.

Can be active or passive.  But they are simply exercises to increase the motion at a joint.

Flexibility of body comes from stretching. You cannot acquire this ability in any one day, or months for that matter. It is a slow process.You can go to a dancing school to learn to dance, or have a friend who knows how ,teach you.

Ok, I would normally be ofended by such questions, but there is a perfectly logical answer: Lets see you swing that club with a couple melons hanging inside your shirt. Seriously. Try it. It's incredibly hard. We need to bend out knees and arch our backs in a totally different way, just to get our arms straight.

- Ball-and-Socket Joints.\nThese joints are formed where the rounded head of one bone fits into the hollow, cup-shaped socket of another bone such as the shoulder joint and the hip joint. Such joints allow freedom of movement in all directions. \n\n-Hinge Joints.\nThese joints occur where the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another bone, so making movement possible in one plane only. Examples of these joints are the knee and the elbow joints. Hinge joints have ligaments mainly at the sides of the joints. \n\n-Gliding Joints.\nThis type of joint allows for gliding movements between flat surfaces as the surfaces slide over one another. Only a limited amount of movement is allowed such as the joints between the carpal bones, the joints between the tarsal bones and those between the articular processes (zygapophyses) of successive vertebrae. \n\n-Pivot Joints.\nThese joints occur where:\n\n    * a bony ring rotates round the pivot (axis) of another bone such as the ring-like atlas rotating around the odontoid process of the axis, allowing the head to turn from side to side.\n    * the end of one one bone rotates round the axis of another bone such as the end of the radius rotating around the ulna as the palm of the hand is turned inwards or outwards. \n\n-Compound Joints.\nThese joints are made up of several joints between a number of different bones. The bones articulate with one another in different ways, allowing for a variety of movements such as the set of joints which operate the movement of the skull on the vertebral column. The condyles at the base of the skull fit into the facets of the atlas, allowing for the nodding movement of the head. While one moves one's head, the atlas is able to rotate round the odontoid process of the axis, allowing the head to turn from side to side. There are also other articulating surfaces, where the atlas and axis meet. All these joints together make a compound joint with its many possible movements in the neck region. \n\nI hope that answers your question! For some pictures check out the link below.

Sounds like a HINGE joint.  Not sure if you're referring to the type of joint or the name.  Elbows and knees are types of hinge joints

elbow I guess. What an odd question!

Yoga is a great way to stretch but it is sooo much more. It builds strength, balance, and spiritual connection. Yoga is the fountain of youth. There are different types of yoga depending on your goals. There are yoga styles with a heated studio like Bikram and Ashtanga which allow you to go really deep into the poses because you are already warmed up. The style I practice is called Anusara which is focused on alignment so the chances of injury are very little. Check with your local studio and make sure your instructor knows about your ability level and any injuries. \nJust to add to the other comments, Pilates is about strengthening your core more than about flexibility. Yoga is better for flexibility.\nNamaste!

Our body gives subtle signs of aging early on. Flexibility begins to decline in our 20s. Muscle strength begins to decline in our early 40s. We may have trouble balancing. Walking helps with muscle strength, flexibility, and balance. It offsets the effects of aging in other words.

Gliding Joint: This type of joint allows bones to glide past each other. There are gliding joints in your ankles, wrists and spine.

The Muscle works by contracting, which is 'flexing' the muscle. The muscular system is operated initially by your brain and then in turn, that part of the body 'flexing'.

I think I'd have to go with a leg. You may walk with a limp, etc.. but really, most people only walk with their legs. \n\nAn arm, you've got not only your arm, but all of your fingers and your hands, which you use no matter what, even when you're just sitting down.
