NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 168
Match List I with List II :
| List I | List II | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| A. | Fibrous joints | I. | Adjacent vertebrae, limited movement |
| B. | Cartilaginous joints | II. | Humerus and Pectoral girdle, rotational movement |
| C. | Hinge joints | III. | Skull, don't allow any movement |
| D. | Ball and socket joints | IV. | Knee, help in locomotion |
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- Option A:
A-IV, B-II, C-III, D-I
- Option B:
A-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
- Option C:
A-II, B-III, C-I, D-IV
- Option D:Correct
A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Answer: D
Step-by-step solution
Fibrous joints are immovable and occur in flat skull bones joined by sutures, so A matches III. Cartilaginous joints allow limited movement and are present between adjacent vertebrae, so B matches I. Hinge joints permit movement mainly in one plane; the knee is a hinge joint that helps in locomotion, so C matches IV. Ball-and-socket joints allow rotational movement and occur between the humerus and the pectoral girdle, so D matches II. Therefore the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II, which is option D.
