Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 1

The joint in which one of the two bones is fixed in its place and bears a peg like process over which the other bone rotates is called

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 1

Pivot joint allows only a rotatory movement of one bone on the other, which remains stationary. A rounded end of one bone fits into a shallow pit of another bone. E.g., joint between atlas and axis vertebrae which enables the head to turn from side to side.

Topic in NCERT: Joints

Line in NCERT: "ball and socket joint (between humerus and pectoral girdle), hinge joint (knee joint), pivot joint (between atlas and axis), gliding joint (between the carpals) and saddle joint (between carpal and metacarpal of thumb) are some examples."

Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 2

Choose the pair of characteristics and example of a synovial joint in humans.

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 2

Synovial joints are characterised by the presence of a fluid filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements. Ball and socket joint (between humerus and pectoral girdle), hinge joint (knee joint), pivot joint (between atlas and axis), gliding joint (between the carpals) and saddle joint (between carpal and metacarpal of thumb) are some examples.

Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 3

Which of the following pairs is correctly matched?

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 3

The gliding joint allows sliding movements of two bones over each other. The joint between the carpals

Topic in NCERT: Joints

Line in NCERT: "gliding joint (between the carpals)"

Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 4

The joint of radio-ulna with the upper arm is

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 4

The joint of radio-ulna with the upper arm is a hinge joint. This joint allows the movement only in a single plane.

Topic in NCERT: Joints

Line in NCERT: "ball and socket joint (between humerus and pectoral girdle), hinge joint (knee joint), pivot joint (between atlas and axis), gliding joint (between the carpals) and saddle joint (between carpal and metacarpal of thumb) are some examples."

Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 5

The joints between the carpal bones are

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 5

Joints between carpal bones are gliding joints. A gliding joint is a type of synovial joint whose articular surface is usually flat, permitting only back-and-forth and side-to-side movements.

Topic in NCERT: Joints

Line in NCERT: "gliding joint (between the carpals)"

Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 6

Which one of the following pairs of structures is correctly matched with their description?

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 6

Only tibia connects to the femur to form the knee joint with the patella. Shoulder joint is of ball-and-socket type and elbow joint is a hinge joint.

Topic in NCERT: Joints

Line in NCERT: "pivot joint (between atlas and axis)"

Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 7

Which one of the following is the correct description of a certain part of a normal human skeleton?

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 7

Parietal bone and temporal bone of the skull are joined by fibrous joint (immovable joint). First cervical vertebra is atlas. The last two pairs (11th and 12th) of ribs are called flothing ribs. Glenoid cavity is a depression to which humaerus articulates.

Topic in NCERT: Skeletal system

Line in NCERT: "the 8th 9th and 10th pairs of ribs do not articulate directly with the sternum but join the seventh rib with the help of hyaline cartilage. these are called vertebrochondral (false) ribs. last 2 pairs (11th and 12th) of ribs are not connected ventrally and are therefore, called floating ribs."

Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 8

Which of the following is/are not correctly matched pairs?
(i) Ball and socket joint — Between humerus and pectoral girdle
(ii) Pivot joint — Between carpal and metacarpal
(iii) Saddle joint — Between atlas and axis
(iv) Gliding joint — Between the carpals
(v) Fibrous joint — In flat skull bones

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 8

Pivot joint — between atlas and axis.
Saddle joint — between carpal and metacarpal.

Topic in NCERT: Joints

Line in NCERT: "ball and socket joint (between humerus and pectoral girdle), hinge joint (knee joint), pivot joint (between atlas and axis), gliding joint (between the carpals) and saddle joint (between carpal and metacarpal of thumb) are some examples."

Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 9

What is the name of joint between ribs and sternum?

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 9

In slightly movable or cartilaginous joints, the opposing surfaces are conneted by cartilage, which allows very little movement. Another example is joints between adjacent vertebrae.

Topic in NCERT: Skeletal system

Line in NCERT: "the first seven pairs of ribs are called true ribs. dorsally, they are attached to the thoracic vertebrae and ventrally connected to the sternum with the help of hyaline cartilage."

Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 10

What is a defining characteristic of synovial joints?

Detailed Solution for Test: Joints (NCERT) - Question 10

Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid, which allows for a greater range of motion.

Topic in NCERT: Joints

Line in NCERT: "synovial joints are characterised by the presence of a fluid filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones."
