Which of the following pairs is correctly matched?

  1. Hinge joint – Between vertebrae
  2. Gliding joint – Between zygapophyses of the successive vertebrae
  3. Cartilaginous joint – Skull bones
  4. Fibrous joint – Between phalanges

Answer

(2) Gliding joint – Between zygapophyses of the successive vertebrae

Solution

As per NCERT:

Fibrous joints – flat skull bones fused by sutures.

Cartilaginous joints – between adjacent vertebrae (vertebral bodies).

Hinge joint – knee joint (also between phalanges).

Gliding joint – between the carpals.

⇒ The zygapophyses (articular processes) of successive vertebrae have flat surfaces that slide over each other, so they form gliding joints.

∴ Gliding joint – between zygapophyses of the successive vertebrae is correctly matched.

Answer: (2)
