Question

Help plz. Match the joint to the type of movement it allows.

Answer 1

rotation = pivot
no move = suture
side to side = glide
back and forth = hinge

Answer 2

Allows rotational movement ----> Pivot joint

Allows no movement ----->suture joint

Allows side to side movement -----> gliding joint

Allows back and forth movement ----> hinge joint

Step-by-step explanation :

• A connection between two bones is known as a joint or articulation. In each joint three things are found: the surface of the bone, joint cavity and, joint capsule.

• There are many types of joints in our body and, they are found in different locations such as elbow, knee etc.

• Some of the joints are discussed below:

1. Pivot joint - It is a type of synovial joint as it has a covering of synovial capsule over it. It is located in the atlas and axis bones and, its function is to allow the rotation of the neck.
2. Suture joint - It is a type of fibrous joint. It is located in the skull and does not allow any kind of movement.
3. Gliding joint - it is also a type of synovial joint usually found between bones having flat surfaces. It is usually found between carpals and metacarpals, tarsal bones of ankles etc.
4. Hinge joint - Hinge joint is again a type of synovial joint. In this type of joint, the articular surfaces are joint in such a way that the movement occurs only in one direction. It is located in the elbow, knee, and ankle.
