The characteristic and an example of a synovial joint in humans is
- A Fluid filled synovial cavity between two bones \(⇒\) Joint between atlas and axis
- B Lymph filled between two bones, limited movement \(⇒\) Gliding joint between carpals
- C Fluid cartilage between two bones,limited movements \(⇒\) Knee joint
- D Fluid filled between two joints, provides cushion \(⇒\) Skull bones
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Fluid filled synovial cavity between two bones \(⇒\) Joint between atlas and axis
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(a) : Joint between atlas and axis is a pivot joint, a type of synovial joint. Synovial joints are characterised by presence of fluid filled cavity between the articulating surface of the two bones.
