B. costochondral joints

C. costotransverse joints

D. interchondral joints

Answer 1

ANSWER - (A) (C) (D) are the three joints which are known as synovial joints which provides good movement and COSTOCHONDRAL joints are regarded as hyaline cartilagenous joints.

costovertebral joints are the types which use to connect proximal end of ribs with vertebrae and they provide a synovial plane joint.

while costotransverse are also type of plain synovial joints between neck and tubercles of the rib joining with transverse process of thoracic vertebrae and they provide short amount of rotation but considered as a the synovial joints.

synovial joints are the joints between the two bones conatining the cartilage lined cavity in which fluid is filled called synovial fluid and joints are called synovial joints.

while third is the intervertebral joints which are formed between adjacent vertebrae and these are synovial and cartilaginous joints as well and have superior and inferior facet.

these joints are called synovial joints while costochondral is the joint between rib and costal cartilage and these are hyaline cartilage made up of or joined togther with cartilage only and provide less movement in comparison of synovial joints.
