Select the correct matching of the types of the joint with the example in the human skeletal system:

A

Cartilaginous joint between frontal and parietal

B

Pivot joint between third and fourth cervical vertebrae

C

Hinge joint between the humerus and pectoral girdle

D

Gliding joint between carpals

Step-by-Step Solution

According to the NCERT text:

  1. Gliding joints are found between the carpals (wrist bones).
  2. The joint between the humerus and the pectoral girdle is a Ball and socket joint, not a hinge joint.
  3. The joint between the atlas and axis is a Pivot joint; joints between other vertebrae are typically cartilaginous.
  4. The joints between flat skull bones (like frontal and parietal) are Fibrous joints (sutures), which do not allow movement.
