Question

Select the correct matching of the type of the joint with the example in human skeletal system
A. Gliding joint - Between carpals
B. Cartilaginous joint - Between frontal and parietal
C. Pivot joint - between third and fourth cervical vertebrae
D. Hinge joint - between Humerus and pectroal girdle

Answer 1

Correct Answer - A

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A

#EXPLANATION:

 

A. In gliding joints, the articulating bones can slide upon one another.

B. Cartilaginous joints are slightly movable joints. In these joints, there is a pad of fibrocartilage between two adjoining bones which allows very slight movements.

C. Pivot joint is a rotatory joint. Here, one bone is fixed and bears a peg-like projection of pivot. The other bone fits over the pivot by a concavity and freely rotates around.

D. Hinge joint, a protuberance known as condyle at the end of one bone fits into the corresponding depression of the other. So, the joint allows movement in one place only.
