Hips are attached to

  1. scapula

  2. sternum

  3. clavide

  4. ilium
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
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'

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

  1. Ball and socket

  2. Gliding

  3. Hinge

  4. Pivot
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
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.
Multiple choice evs our skeletal system and the skin bones and movements joints in the human body joints bones

Hinge joints are present in the ........... region.

  1. Neck

  2. Shoulder

  3. Elbow

  4. Skull
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Our body is made up of many joints. Each of these joints is of different categories and perform specific functions. They may be movable joints or immovable joints. Among the movable joints, some are hinge joints. This means that they are able to move about one axis. They are a type of synovial joint.

So the correct option is C.

The branch of study dealing with joints is

  1. Osteology

  2. Chondrology

  3. Craniology

  4. Arthrology
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Osteology is the study of the structure and function of the skeleton and bony structures.

Chondrology is the branch of anatomy that deals with cartilage.
Craniology is the scientific study of the shape and size of the skulls of different human races.
Arthrology is the science concerned with the study of anatomy, function, dysfunction and treatment of joints and articulations.
Hence, Arthrology is the branch of science dealing with the study of joints.

Choose the wrong match with reference to joints.

  1. Gomposes $\rightarrow$ Intercarpal joints
  2. Syndesmoses $\rightarrow$ Joint between tibia and fibula
  3. Symphysis $\rightarrow$ Joint between vertebrae
  4. Synchondrosis $\rightarrow$ Epiphyseal plate
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation
  • A joint is a location at which two or more bones make contact.
  • Fibrous or immovable joints are connected by dense connective tissue, consisting mainly of collagen.
  • Gomposes is a type of fibrous joint. It is a joint between the root of a tooth and the sockets in the maxilla or mandible.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Gomposes →→ Intercarpal joints'
Multiple choice evs our skeletal system and the skin bones and movements joints in the human body joints bones

Identify the correct statement.

  1. Joint between adjacent vertebrae is a fibrous joint.

  2. Decreased level of progesterone causes osteoporosis in old people.

  3. Accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints causes their inflammation.

  4. Vertebral column has 10 thoracic vertebrae.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation
  • Gout is a metabolic disease in which crystals of uric acid gets deposited in joints, tendons and surrounding soft tissues.
  • Symptoms of gout increase irritation, inflammation of joints and tendon tissue, joints become hot red and swollen.
  • Hence accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints causes their inflammation.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints causes their inflammation'.
