Question
Ramya likes to play volleyball and goes to a training camp to be trained by a coach. Ramya's coach makes sure that before he teaches anything to Ramya, Ramya must do warm-up exercises. She starts with stretching his neck in the horizontal and vertical directions. Can you tell which kind of joint does the neck have so as to allow such movement?

Solution
The correct option is B Pivotal joint
Pivot joints are joints that allow bones to rotate. In a pivot joint, a cylinder shaped bone rotates inside another bone or ligament that forms a ring around it. To see how a pivot joint functions, just turn your head from side to side. In your neck, there's a pivot joint between your skull and the top vertebrae that allows your head to turn.
