Which of the following pairs is correctly matched?
Correct answer: B. Gliding joint between zygapo physes of the successive vertebrae
- A. Hinge joint between vertebrae
- B. Gliding joint between zygapo physes of the successive vertebrae
- C. Cartilaginous joint of skull bones
- D. Fibrous joint between phalanges
Explanation
Gliding joint permits sliding movements of two bones over each other. Hinge joint allows movements in one plane only. Knee joint, elbow joint, ankle joint are of this type. Cartilaginous joint is a slightly movable joint and is found between the centre of vertebrae, at the pubic symphysis and between ribs and sternum.

About Support and Movement
Support and movement covers the axial and appendicular skeleton, bone structure, joints and the arrangement of skeletal muscles. Muscle contraction is explained through actin, myosin, sliding filaments, calcium ions and ATP, while arthritis is distinguished as a disorder of joints rather than a normal part of movement.
