Locomotion and MovementMedium

Question

Match List I with List II :

List I List II
A. Fibrous joints I. Adjacent vertebrae, limited movement
B. Cartilaginous joints II. Humerus and Pectoral girdle, rotational movement
C. Hinge joints III. Skull, don't allow any movement
D. Ball and socket joints IV. Knee, help in locomotion

Choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Options

A.A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
B.A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
C.A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
D.A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV

Solution

Sol. [Key Concept: Types of joints]

Fibrous skull sutures are immovable (A–III). Cartilaginous joints between adjacent vertebrae allow limited movement (B–I). The knee is treated as a hinge joint at this level (C–IV). The shoulder, between humerus and the pectoral girdle, is a ball and socket joint permitting movement in multiple planes (D–II). Hence, option (2).
