Options

  1. AParietal bone and the temporal bone of the skull are joined by fibrous joint
  2. BFirst vertebra is axis, which articulates with the occipital condyles
  3. CThe 9^ th and 10^ th pairs of ribs are called the floating ribs
  4. DGlenoid cavity is a depression to which the thigh bone articulates

Correct answer

A. Parietal bone and the temporal bone of the skull are joined by fibrous joint

Step-by-step solution

Immovable or fixed or fibrous joints are found between the skull bones. No movement occurs at these joints. So, parietal bone and the temporal bone of the skull are joined by fibrous joint. Invertebrates, the first vertebra is called atlas, while the second vertebra is axis. In humans, first seven pairs of ribs are called true rubs; 8^ th , 9^ th and 10^ th pairs of ribs are false ribs while 11^ th and 12^ th pairs of ribs are called floating ribs.
