Which of the following pairs is correctly matched -
A
Fibrous joint - between phalanges
B
Cartilaginous joint - skull bones
C
Gliding joint - between zygapophyses of the successive vertebrae
D
Hinge joint - between vertebrae
Detailed Solution
Gliding joints are synovial joints in which the flat articular surfaces slide over one another.
They occur between the zygapophyses (articular processes) of successive vertebrae, between the carpals and between the tarsals. So this pair is correctly matched.
Fibrous (immovable) joints occur between the flat bones of the skull (sutures), not between the phalanges.
The joints between the phalanges are hinge joints, and the joints between the vertebral bodies (with intervertebral discs) are cartilaginous joints.
So the skull bones and the vertebrae are wrongly matched in the other options.
So the correctly matched pair is gliding joint - between zygapophyses of the successive vertebrae.
