Observe the given diagram of the human skeleton where four specific joints are labeled as A, B, C, and D. Match the labeled joints in List I with their corresponding types in List II : List I List II A Joint A I Gliding joint B Joint B II Fibrous joint C Joint C III Pivot joint D Joint D IV Saddle joint Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- AA-IV, B-I, C-III, D-II
- BA-I, B-III, C-II, D-IV
- CA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- DA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Correct answer
C. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Step-by-step solution
From the given diagram: A represents the joint between the atlas and axis, which is a pivot joint (III). B represents the intercarpal joints in the wrist, which are gliding joints (I). C represents the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb, which is a saddle joint (IV). D represents the sutures of the skull, which are fibrous joints (II). Therefore, the correct matching is A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II. Answer: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
