Classification of joints is done on the basis of:

I:	the connective tissue that binds the bones together
II:	the degree of motion at each joint
III:	the number of bones that articulate with each other
IV:	the embryonic tissue that formed the joint

 

1.	I, II and III	2.	II and III
3.	I, II, III and IV	4.	I and II

Given these types of joints:

a. gomphosis
b. suture
c. symphysis
d. synchondrosis
e. syndesmosis

Choose the types that are held together by fibrous connective tissue.

1. a, b, c

2. a, b, e

3. b, c, e

4. c, d, e
 

Identify the incorrectly matched pair:

What type of joints are intervertebral discs?
1. sutures.
2. syndesmoses.
3. symphyses.
4. synovial joints.

The primary cartilaginous joints and the secondary cartilaginous joints are respectively called:

1. sutures; synchondroses

2. syndesmoses; symphyses

3. symphyses; syndesmoses

4. synchondroses; symphyses

A space between the bones of the skull in an infant or fetus, where ossification is not complete and the sutures not fully formed is called a:

1. synchondrosis.

2. syndesmosis.

3. symphysis.

4. fontanel.

The type of joint between the first rib and the sternum is a
1. suture.
2. plane joint.
3. synchondrosis.
4. synovial joint.

The articulating bone surfaces at a synovial joint are not directly connected to each other with fibrous connective tissue or cartilage but their stability is due to the presence of:

1. fascia.

2. joint capsule.

3. tendon sheath.

4. aponeurosis.

The synovial fluid in the synovial cavity is secreted by:
1. both articulating bone.
2. articular cartilage cells.
3. adipose cells.
4. the synovial membrane.

The atlantooccipital joint is an
1. suture.
2. ellipsoid joint.
3. saddle joint.
4. pivot joint.
