Question

Match List I with List II.

	List I (Type of Joint)		List II (Found between)
A	Cartilaginous Joint	I	Between flat skull bones
B	Ball and Socket Joint	II	Between adjacent vertebrae in vertebral column
C	Fibrous Joint	III	Between carpal and metacarpal of thumb
D	Saddle Joint	IV	Between Humerus and Pectoral girdle

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

• A. A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III
• B. A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II
• C. A-II, B-IV, C-III, D-
• D. A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

To solve this question, we need to match each type of joint in List I with the correct anatomical location or group of bones found in List II. Let's examine each type of joint:

1. Cartilaginous Joint: These joints are joined together entirely by cartilage. They are slightly movable. A common example of a cartilaginous joint is the joint between adjacent vertebrae in the vertebral column, where the intervertebral discs are located. So, Cartilaginous Joint is II.
2. Ball and Socket Joint: These joints allow movement in multiple planes and axes. A classic example is the joint found between the humerus (upper arm bone) and the pectoral girdle, specifically the shoulder joint. So, Ball and Socket Joint is IV.
3. Fibrous Joint: These joints are connected by fibrous tissue and generally do not allow movement. An example is the sutures found between the flat bones of the skull, which are fibrous joints. So, Fibrous Joint is I.
4. Saddle Joint: This type of joint allows movement along two planes and is found between the carpal and metacarpal bones of the thumb, enabling a wide range of thumb movements. So, Saddle Joint is III.

Based on the explanations above, the correct match between List I and List II is:

A	Cartilaginous Joint	II	Between adjacent vertebrae in vertebral column
B	Ball and Socket Joint	IV	Between Humerus and Pectoral girdle
C	Fibrous Joint	I	Between flat skull bones
D	Saddle Joint	III	Between carpal and metacarpal of thumb

The correct answer is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
