Joint of femur with pelvic girdle is _________.

evs bones joints in the human body our skeletal system and the skin joints

  1. Hinge joint

  2. Pivot joint

  3. Immovable joint

  4. Ball and socket joint

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages.
  •  Ball and socket joint is a type of synovial joint.
  • In ball and socket joint, the ball-shaped surface of one rounded bone fits into the cup-like depression of another bone.
  • Pelvic girdle consists of a pair of hip bones. the hip bone is formed by the fusion of 3 bones: the ischium, ilium and pubic bone. Together, they form the acetabulum(socket), which is the area where the head of the femur(ball) articulates with the hip bone.Hence.Joint of the femur with pelvic girdle is ball and socket joint.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Ball and socket joint'.

Joint where synovial capsule and synovial fluid are lacking is

evs bones joints in the human body our skeletal system and the skin joints

  1. Carpal-carpal

  2. Pubic symphysis in females

  3. Finger and toes in males

  4. Femur and pelvis in females

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:
A. Carpal-carpal joint is the joint between two carpal bones and also known as intercarpal joint. This type of joint is present in the wrist.
B. Pubic symphysis is a cartilaginous joint in females and is present near the clitoris. The two pubic bones connect to form an opening through which the baby is delivered.
C. Finger and toes have joints between the digits or phalanges.
D. Femur and pelvis join to form the hip bone in females. 
Synovial capsule and synovial fluid are lacking in the joints which are not movable such as pubic symphysis in females.
So, the correct answer is 'Pubic symphysis in females'.

Knee joint is

evs bones joints in the human body our skeletal system and the skin joints

  1. Gamphosis

  2. Cartilaginous joint

  3. Sutvire

  4. Synovial joint

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages.
  • Synovial joints are characterized 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. 
  • The knee joint is a hinge joint i.e a type of synovial joint. Hence knee joint is a synovial joint.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Synovial joint'.

Which among the following is called true joints?

evs bones joints in the human body our skeletal system and the skin joints

  1. Synovial joints

  2. Synchondrosis

  3. Syndesmoses

  4. Symphysis

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:
  • Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages.
  • Joints are of three types. They are fibrous joint, cartilaginous joints, and synovial joints
  • Synovial joints are characterized 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.
  • The synovial joint is called a true joint because they allow the free moment i.e freely movable joints.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Synovial joint'.

Ankle, knee and elbow joints are

evs bones joints in the human body our skeletal system and the skin joints

  1. Pivot joints

  2. Ellipsoid joints

  3. Hinge joints

  4. Synovial joints

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
  • Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages.
  • Synovial joints are characterized 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.synovial joints are freely movable joints.
  • Ankle, knee and elbow joints are synovial joints.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Synovial joints'.

Cavity into which the head of longest and strongest bone of human body fits is

evs bones joints in the human body our skeletal system and the skin joints

  1. Glenoid

  2. Clavicular

  3. Obturator foremen

  4. Acetabulum

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The longest bone in the human body is the femur bone also called the thigh bone. It is located in the anatomical position just below the pelvic girdle in articulation with the acetabulum thereby forming the hip joint proximally and in articulation with the proximal parts of the tibia and fibula bones below the patella region, distally.

So, the correct answer is 'Acetabulum'.

Correct the given statements by replacing the underlined words and select the correct option.


(i)  The hinge joint is present in our neck.
(ii)  The number of bones in our appendicular skeleton is 140.
(iii) The number of bones present in the vertebral column in human 36. 

(iv) The complete bowling action in cricket is possible because our arm is joined to our shoulder by a pivot joint.

evs bones joints in the human body our skeletal system and the skin joints

  1. (i) Ball and socket joint, (ii) 140, (iii) 33, (iv) Hinge joint.

  2. (i) Fixed joint, (ii) 126, (iii) 33, (iv) saddle joint.

  3. (i) Pivot joint, (ii) 126, (iii) 26, (iv) Ball and socket joint.

  4. (i) Pivot joint, (ii) 130, (iii) 26, (iv) Ball and socket joint.

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

i) In our neck cervical vertebrae form joints which are pivotal joints.

ii) Each appendage has 30 bones so the appendicular skeleton has less the 140 bones.
iii) Number of bones in the vertebral column are 26 and not 36.
iv) Arm is joined to the shoulder not by a pivot but a ball and socket joint.
So, the correct option is (i) Pivot joint, (ii) 126, (iii) 26, (iv) Ball and socket joint.

The shoulder joint is formed between

evs bones joints in the human body our skeletal system and the skin joints

  1. Clavicle and acromion process of scapula

  2. Clavicle and glenoid cavity of scapula

  3. Humerus and glenoid cavity of scapula

  4. Humerus and acromion process of scapula

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The shoulder joint, also known as an acromioclavicular joint is a joint at the top of the shoulder. It is the junction between acromion (part of the scapula that forms the highest point of the shoulder) and the clavicle. It is a plane synovial joint. This joint provides the ability to raise the arm above the head.

So, the correct answer is 'Clavicle and acromion process of scapula'.
