Question

Statement 1- Condyloid joint allows movement but does not allow rotation.
Statement 2- Elbow joint can be an example of this type of joint

• A. Both the statements are correct
• B. Both the statements are incorrect.
• C. Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false
• D. Statement 2 is true but statement 1 is false

Answer 1

The correct option is C Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false

Condyloid - it is a synovial joint which allows movement in two planes but not rotation. For example, wrist joint.
Synovial joints- These are the joints which allow considerable movement as they contain synovial fluid between the spaces of the articulating surfaces of two bones. In this, bones are connected with each other like joints of the shoulder, hip, elbow, etc.

Hinge is a type of synovial joint that allows motion in one plane and this is made up of two or more bones with the articular surface. The hinge joint is made up of two or more bones with articular surfaces that are covered by synovial fluid which reduces friction. Elbow is a type of hinge joint.
