D. Suture Joint. (2)

Answer 2

Answer: A- 3

B- 4

C- 1

D- 2

Explanation:

Gliding joint helps in sliding past each other in any desired motion i.e. up and down, left and right. It occurs between flat bones like in wrists and ankles.

So, gliding joint - allows side to side movement.

Hinge joint occurs generally in knees and hips which helps in flexion or extension movement at joint.

So, Hinge joint - allows back and forth movement

Pivot joint helps in rotating of one bone around another bone. It is found in between the radius and ulna to rotate our forearms.

So, Pivot joint - allows rotational movement

Suture joint is found only in skull and it does not allow any movement.

So, Suture joint - allows no movement .
