Question

Look at the following sets of bones and the type of joints, and select the correct combination of the two sets.

P. Atlas and Axis	1. Cartilaginous joint
Q. Two Parietals	2. Fibrous joint
R. Two pubis bones	3. Saddle joint
S. First carpal and first metacarpal	4. Pivot joint

• A. P-2 Q-1
• B. Q-2 R-3
• C. R-2 S-3
• D. S-3 P-4

Answer 1

The correct option is D S-3 P-4

Atlas/axis: Pivotal joint (joint that allows only rotary movement)
Carpal/metacarpal of thumb: Saddle joint (saddle joints provide stability to the bones while providing more flexibility)
Between phalanges: Hinge joint (bones can only move along one axis to flex or extend)
Between cranial bones: Fibrous joint (have no joint cavity and are connected via fibrous)
Pubic symphysis: Cartilagenous joint

So, the correct option is 'd'.
