A) All synovial joints are freely movable. B) In cartilaginous joints, a joint cavity is present. C) Immovable joints are called amphiarthroses. D) Synarthrotic joints are slightly movable.

Explanation / Answer

1) b- gomphosis. Example is root of tooth in its bony socket.

2) b- prevents hyperextension of the knee. These ligaments maintain the anteroposterior stability of knee joint.

3) c- it provides a smooth surface at the end of synovial joints.

4) d- symphysis

5) d- syndesmosis. Here the bones are connected by the interosseous ligament.

6)a- bursae

7) d- amphiarthroses (slight movement)

8) b- synchondrosis (also known as primary cartilagenous joint)

9) c- condyloid

10) d- cruciate ligament

11) a- synovial joints are freely movable

12)b- permit essentially no movement

13) c- pivot, hinge and ball joint

14) d- hyaline cartilage

15) a- it contains hyaluronic acid

16) a- these are semilunar cartilage pads

17) c- abduction

18) b- rotation

19) c- medial collateral, medial meniscus and anterior cruciate

20) c- plantar flexion
