Consider the characters of a particular type of joint:
I. | It is a type of synovial joint |
II. | It enables the bone to move in a 360° angle. |
III. | It is exemplified by joint between humerus and pectoral girdle |
What is this type of joint called?
1. Hinge
2. Ball and socket
3. Pivot
4. Saddle
Match the following:-
(i) | Fibrous Joint | (a) | Between two adjacent vertebrae. |
(ii) | Cartilaginous Joint | (b) | Between humerus and pectoral girdle. |
(iii) | Pivot Joint | (c) | Sutures. |
(iv) | Ball and Socket Joint | (d) | Between atlas and axis. |
1. iv → (d), iii → (b), i → (c), ii → (a)
2. i → (a), ii → (c), iii → (d), iv → (b)
3. i → (c), ii → (a), iii → (d), iv → (b)
4. i → (a), ii → (d), iii → (b), iv → (c)
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:
Joint type | Example | |
1. | Hinge | Knee |
2. | Pivot | Between atlas and axis vertebra |
3. | Gliding | Between the metacarpals |
4. | Saddle | Between carpal and metacarpal of thumb |
Complete the analogy with respect to joints Saddle joint: Between carpal and metacarpal of thumb: : Hinge joint:______
1. Between femur and acetabulum
2. Between femur and tibia
3. Between atlas and axis
4. Between occipital condyle and atlas
The characteristics and an example of a synovial joint in humans is
Characteristics | Examples | |
1. | Fluid cartilage between two bones, limited movements | Knee joints |
2. | Fluid filled between two joints, provides cushion | Skull bones |
3. | Fluid filled synovial cavity between two bones | Joint between atlas and axis |
4. | Lymph filled between two bones, limited movement | Gliding joint between carpals |
Which of these pairs is mismatched?
1. slightly movable joint–vertebrae
2. hinge joint–hip
3. immovable joint–sutures in cranium
4. ball and socket joint–hip
Consider the following statements:
I. Proximal radioulnar joint is a type of ellipsoidal joint.
II. The first carpo-metacarpal joint is a saddle joint.
III. Gleno-humeral joint is a ball and socket joint.
Which of the above statements are true?
1. I and II only
2. I and III only
3. II and III only
4. I, II, and III
Which of the following is wrong?
(1) Force generated by muscle is used to carry out movement through joints
(2) The movability of joints vary depending on different factors
(3) Joints have been classified into three major functional forms, namely, fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial.
(4) Both 2 and 3
Identify the incorrectly matched pair:

2. Joint between the carpals Gliding
3. Joint between metacarpal of Saddle
thumb and phalange
4. Humero-ulnar joint Hinge
