Solution
The correct option is D Enarthrose
- Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages.
- Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements. Ball and socket type of joint is a type of synovial joint.
- In the ball and socket joint the ball-shaped surface of one rounded bone fits into the cup-like depression of another bone. Enarthrose refers to articulation with spherical surfaces allowing the bones to move in all directions.
- Hence ball and socket type of joint is also called enarthrose.
- So, the correct answer is 'Enarthrose'.
