Select the correct matching of the type of the joint with the example in human skeletal system:
Type of joint Example
(a) Cartilaginous joint - between frontal and parietal
(b) Pivot joint - between third and fourth cervical vertebrae
(c) Hinge joint - between humerus and pectoral girdle
(d) Gliding joint - between carpals
Correct option: (d)
Explanation:
A gliding joint is a common type of synovial joint formed between bones that meet at flat or nearly flat articular surfaces. Gliding joints allow the bones to glide past one another in any direction along the plane of the joint - up and down, left and right, and diagonally. Many gliding joints are formed in the appendicular skeleton between the carpal bones of the wrist; between the carpals and the metacarpals of the palm; between the tarsal bones of the ankle; and between the tarsals and the metatarsals of the foot.
