Question

Match List I with List II:

List I		List II
A	EFibrous joints	I	Adjacent vertebrae, limited movement
B	Cartilaginous joints	II	Humerus and Pectoral girdle, rotational movement
C	Hinge joints	III	Skull, don’t allow any movement
D	Ball and socket joints	IV	Knee, help in locomotion

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

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

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

The task is to match the types of joints in List I with their corresponding descriptions in List II, based on function and location. Here are the steps to find the correct matching:

1. Understand the joint types:
   • Fibrous joints: Joints that don't allow any movement, typically found in the skull. Hence, it should match with III "Skull, don’t allow any movement".
   • Cartilaginous joints: These allow limited movement and are found between adjacent vertebrae. So, it should match with I "Adjacent vertebrae, limited movement".
   • Hinge joints: These permit angular movement along one plane, like the knee, which assists in locomotion. Therefore, it should match with IV "Knee, help in locomotion".
   • Ball and socket joints: These allow rotational movement, such as the joint between the humerus and pectoral girdle. Accordingly, it matches with II "Humerus and Pectoral girdle, rotational movement".
2. Arrange the matches:
   • Fibrous joints: A-III
   • Cartilaginous joints: B-I
   • Hinge joints: C-IV
   • Ball and socket joints: D-II
3. Select the correct option: The correct answer is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.

This solution shows how joint types correlate with their structural and functional characteristics, leading to a clear match with their descriptions.

Answer 2

Matching Joint Types with Their Locations and Functions:

• A. Fibrous joints – Found in the skull, where no movement occurs. 
  Matches with: III. Skull, don’t allow any movement.
• B. Cartilaginous joints – Found between adjacent vertebrae, allowing limited movement. 
  Matches with: I. Adjacent vertebrae, limited movement.
• C. Hinge joints – Allow movement in one direction, such as in the knee. 
  Matches with: IV. Knee, help in locomotion.
• D. Ball and socket joints – Allow rotational movement, such as in the humerus and pectoral girdle. 
  Matches with: II. Humerus and Pectoral girdle, rotational movement.

Thus, the correct answer is (4) A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II.
