Answer 1

1Q).

1. synarthrosis : lambdoid suture ---> TRUE

2. synarthrosis : epiphyseal line ---> TRUE

3. amphiarthrosis : pubic symphysis ---> TRUE

4. diarthrosis : joint between vertebral bodies ---> FALSE (joints between vertebral bodies are synarthrosis joints)

5. diarthrosis : metacarpophalangeal joint ---> TRUE

The site of articulation of bones is known as “joints.” Based on the extent of movement allowed by the joints, they are classified as,

1. Synarthrosis joints (immovable)
2. Amphiarthrosis joints (slightly movable)
3. Diarthrosis (freely movable)

Based on the structure of joints, they are classified as,

1. Fibrous joints
2. Cartilaginous joints
3. Synovial joints

1). Fibrous joints: They are also called as fixed or immovable joints. In this, bones are joined together by tight junctions and no movement is observed at these joints. Eg: structures of the skull.

2). Cartilagenous joints: They are also called as movable joints. The articular ends have the covering of hyaline cartilage and the joint is covered by ligaments. In between the joints fibrocartilagenous pad is present. Eg: intervertebral joints.

3). Synovial joints: They are also called as freely movable joints. The articular ends have the covering of hyaline cartilage and the bones are connected together by ligaments. The joint is enclosed by fibrous capsule and the capsule is lined by synovial membrane. Synovial fluid is present within the cavity of membrane.
