In newborn roofing bones of the skull leave soft gaps called as the ______

  1. Sutures

  2. Fontanelle

  3. Symphasis

  4. gap junctions


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
An infant's skull is made up of 6 separate cranial (skull) bones:
  • Frontal bone
  • Occipital bone
  • Two parietal bones
  • Two temporal bones
These bones are held together by strong, fibrous, elastic tissues called sutures. Also, the soft spaces between the bones that remain open in babies and young children are called fontanelles. Sometimes, they are called soft spots. These spaces are a part of normal development. 

So, the correct option is 'Fontanels'.

  3. Crop fish

  4. Silverfish


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tube feet move the star fish around. They are part of the water vascular system.

Which of the following &fare 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
  1. (ii) and (iii)

  2. (i) and (iv)

  3. (v) Only

  4. (ii) Only


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

In the given table options i and iv are correctly matched.

So, the correct option is '(i) and (iv)'.

 Match column I with column II and select the correct option from the codes given below:

Column I Column II
A. Saddle joint (i) Metacarpo-phalangeal joint
B. Gliding joint (ii) Carpometacarpal joint of thumb
C. Hinge joint (iii) Between tarsal bones
D. Ellipsoid joint (iv) Knee joint
  1. A-(i), B-(ii), C-(iii), D-(iv)

  2. A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(i)

  3. A-(iv), B-(iii), C-(ii), D-(i)

  4. A-(iii), B-(ii), C-(iv), D-(i)


Correct Option: B
Explanation:
 Column I  Column II
 Saddle joint  Carpometacarpal joint of the thumb
 Gliding joint between tarsal bones
 Hinge joint  Knee joint
 Ellipsoid joint   Metacarpophalangeal joint
   

So, the correct option is 'A-(ii), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(i)'.

Hips are attached to

  1. scapula

  2. sternum

  3. clavide

  4. ilium


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The pelvic girdle is located in the lower part of the trunk. It consists of three bones that are upper ileum, lower ischium and inner pubis, they fuse to form a stout hip bone. Ventral wall of the pubis has a small bone which is known as cotyloid. The acetabulum is formed by ilium, ischium and pubis, but in mammals, pubis is replaced by cotyloid bone.

So, the correct option is 'ilium'

Match the two columns and select the correct option from the codes given below.

D. Saddle (iv) Knee(v) Humerus and pectoral girdle
  1. A-(v), B-(iv), C-(ii), D-(i)

  2. A-(i), B-(iii), C-(iv), D-(v)

  3. A-(v), B-(iv), C-(iii), D-(i)

  4. A-(i), B-(ii), C-(v), D-(iv)


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
 A. ball and socket  v humerus and pectoral girdle
 B. hinge   iv knee
 C. pivot  ii atlas and axis
 D. saddle  i carpal and metacarpal of the thumb

The joints between the carpal bones are:

  1. gliding joints

  2. hinge joints

  3. saddle joints

  4. pivot joints


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The joints between the carpal bones are 'gliding joints'.

Elbow joint is an example of .......... type of joint.

  1. Ball and socket

  2. Gliding

  3. Hinge

  4. Pivot


Correct Option: C
Explanation:
In hinge joints, the articulating ends of the bones fit together like a hinge on a door, and movement is therefore restricted to flexion and extension (movement only in one plane). 
The elbow joint is an example, which permits only flexion and extension of the forearm. Other examples of hinge joints are knee joint, ankle joint and joints between the phalanges of the fingers and the toes.
So, the answer is C.
