Question: 142. 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 |
| 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:
(1) A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
(2) A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
(3) A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
(4) A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Answer: Option (4)
Explanation:
Fibrous joints are immovable joints where bones are held together by fibrous connective tissue.
These joints do not allow any movement and are found between the bones of the skull.
Hence, Fibrous joints match with III.
Cartilaginous joints are joints where bones are connected by cartilage.
These joints allow limited movement and are present between adjacent vertebrae of the vertebral column.
Hence, Cartilaginous joints match with I.
Hinge joints allow movement in one plane, similar to the opening and closing of a door.
The knee joint is a hinge joint and plays an important role in locomotion.
Hence, Hinge joints match with IV.
Ball and socket joints allow movement in all directions, including rotation.
The joint between the humerus and the pectoral girdle is a ball and socket joint that allows rotational movement.
Hence, Ball and socket joints match with II.
Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
