Question

Match the bones (Column I) with the kind of joint (Column II)

Column I (Bones )	Column II ( Joint)
(i) Humerus and shoulder girdle	(a) Partially movable
(ii) Two adjacent vertebrae	(b) Gliding
(iii) Skull and the upper end of the backbone	(c) Immovable
(iv) Bones of brain box	(d) Ball and socket
(v) Rib and breast bone	(e) Pivot

Accepted Answer

(i) — (d)

The humerus and shoulder girdle has a ball and socket. The humerus bone is a ball and socket type of synovial joint with three rotatory and three translatory degrees of freedom. The shoulder girdle also a ball and socket connection between the humerus and scapula

(iii) — (e)

The pivot joint is present between the skull and the upper end of the backbone. The pivot joint is exemplified by the joint between the first and second cervical vertebrae that are present right under the skull, rotation of the skull is possible because of the pivot joint

(iv) — (c)

Immovable joints are present between the bones of the brain box that is the skull. The immovable joint connects the ends of the bones by a tough fibrous tissue. Skull bones are immovable in order to protect the brain from impact.

(v) — (a)

Partially movable joints are present between the bones of rib and breast bone.The ribs are connected to sternum by costal cartilages that are partially movable and connected by hyaline cartilage.

Column I (Bones ) Column II ( Joint)
