-
- Characteristics Examples
Fluid filled between two joints, provides cushion Skull bones - Characteristics Examples
Fluid filled synovial cavity between two bones Joint between atlas and axis - Characteristics Examples
Lymph filled between two bones, limited movement gliding joint between carpals - Characteristics Examples
Fluid cartilage between two bones, limited movements Knee joint
- Characteristics Examples
Correct Option: B
Synovial joints are characterised by the presence of a fluid filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. Such an arrangement allows considerable movement. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements. Ball and socket joint (between humerus and pectoral girdle), Hinge joint (knee joint), Pivot joint (between atlas and axis), Gliding joint (between the carpals) and Saddle joint (between carpal and metacarpal of thumb) are some examples.
