biology our skeletal system and the skin bones and movements joints in the human body joints

  1. Fish

  2. Frog

  3. Urochordates

  4. Fowl

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The opisthocoelous vertebra is concave at the posterior end but not the anterior end. Mostly fish and salamanders are of the opisthocoelous type.

  4. 1- (iii), 2- (ii), 3- (iv), 4- (i)

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sternum or breastbone is a flat, narrow and long bone which forms the base for attachment of ribs and is made up of one bone; there are 24 bones or 12 pairs consisting of the rib cage; pelvis consists of 3 bones and face is composed of facial bones which are 14 in number.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

Read the given statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1 : Articulation between the occipital condyles and the atlas vertebra forms a hinge joint.
Statement 2 : It permits the head to move in one plane only, i.e., nodding of head. 

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

  1. Both statements 1 and 2 are correct

  2. Statement 1 is correct but statement 2 is incorrect

  3. Statement 1 is incorrect but statement 2 is correct

  4. Both statements 1 and 2 are incorrect

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Articulation between the occipital condyles and the atlas vertebra forms a hinge joint, it permits the head movement in one plane.

So, the correct option is 'Both statements 1 and 2 are correct'.

Which of the following joints is formed between atlas and axis vertebrae?

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

  1. Saddle joint

  2. Fibrous joint

  3. Cartilaginous joint

  4. Pivot joint

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Pivot joint is present between atlas and axis vertebrae. there is a pivot articulation between the odontoid process of the axis and the ring formed by the anterior arch and the transverse ligament of the atlas.
So, the correct option is 'Pivot joint' 

The 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. non-movable joint

  3. pivot joint

  4. ball and socket joint

Show answer
Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The joint of the femur with pelvic girdle is a synovial - ball and socket joint. Where the ball like projection of the femur fits into the cup like acetabulum of the pelvic bone, with the movement being 360$^0$ and the gap between the joint filled by synovial fluid.

So, the correct answer is 'ball and socket joint'

What is common among crab and honeybee?

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

  1. Jointed legs

  2. Metamorphosis

  3. Compound eyes

  4. Poison glands

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Crab and honeybee, belong to the Phylum Arthropoda. The members of this phylum have characteristic feature of jointed appendages.

Which one of the following pairs of structures is correctly matched with their correct description ?

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

  1. Tibia and fibula Both form parts of knee joint

  2. Joint between Pivot joint atlas and axis

  3. Shoulder joint Ball and socket type of joint and elbow joint

  4. None of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Tibia and fibula are two long bones in the lower leg tibia connect to the knee joint while the fibula is located below the knee joint but is not part of the joint itself, while the joint between atlas and axis is pivot type of joint.

So, the correct option is 'Joint between Pivot joint atlas and axis'.

What is the type of movable joint present between the atlas and axis ?

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

  1. Pivot

  2. Saddle

  3. Hinge

  4. Gliding

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pivot joint helps in turning movements. One bone is fixed and second articulate. This is generally seen in the Atlas and axis of the skull rotate with the axis vertebra also known as an atlantoaxial joint.

So, the correct option is 'Pivot'

Which one of the following options is incorrect ?

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

  1. Hinge joint between humerus and pectoral girdle

  2. Pivot joint between atlas, axis and occipital condyle

  3. Gliding Joint between the carpals

  4. Saddle joint between carpel and metacarpals of thumb

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

There are many joints present in the skeleton. Joint is a point of contact between two bones. The various type of joints present in the body are-

Ball and socket joint-
Ball of one bone articulate in the socket of another bone. Head of the humerus and glenoid cavity of the pectoral girdle,  femur and acetabulum, the joint between incus and stapes.
Hinge joint-
movement is possible in one direction only. Joint of malleus and incus, knee joint, elbow joint, articulation joint of the lower jaw.
Pivot joint- 
helps in turning moment. One bone is fixed and second articulate. Atlas and axial of skull rotate with Axis vertebra 
Gliding joint-
limited movement in all direction. Radius and ulna
Saddle joint- 
It is a ball and socket like a joint but not developed fully. Metacarpals of thumb and carples of hand.
So, the correct option is 'Hinge joint between humerus and pectoral girdle'

The joint of radio-ulna with the upper arm is:

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

  1. hinge joint

  2. socket joint

  3. pivot joint

  4. none of these

Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The joint of radio-ulna with the upper arm is 'hinge joint'.

So the correct option is A.
