Answer to Question 1

ball and socket

Rationale: A ball and socket joint can be found at the hip and the shoulder. The hip joint has a deeper socket making the hip joint more stable. The shoulder joint has a shallower socket that makes it easier to dislocate.

Answer to Question 2

L5-S1 would appear closed

Rationale: If the lateral lumbar projection displays the L5-S1 joint space to be open, adding a tube angle will close off the space.
