Detailed Solution for 31 Years NEET Previous Year Questions: Locomotion & Movement - 1 - Question 4

Synovial joints are distinguished by the existence of a synovial cavity filled with fluid between the surfaces of two bones that articulate with each other. These joints facilitate movement, aiding in locomotion and various other activities. Examples of synovial joints include the ball and socket joint found between the humerus and the pectoral girdle, the hinge joint present in the knee, the pivot joint located between the atlas and axis vertebrae, the gliding joint between the carpals, and the saddle joint between the carpal and metacarpal bones of the thumb.
