Select the correct matching of the type of the joint with the example in human skeletal system:

1. Type of joint Example
  Cartilaginous joint between frontal and pariental
2. Type of joint Example
  Pivot joint between third and fourth cervical vertebrae
3. Type of joint Example
  Hinge joint between humerus and pectoral girdle
4. Type of joint Example
  Gliding joint between carpals

Correct Option: D

A gliding joint is a common type of synovial joint formed between bones that meet at flat or nearly flat articular surfaces. Gliding joints allow the bones to glide past one another in any direction along the plane of the joint - up and down, left and right, and diagonally. Many gliding joints are formed in the appendicular skeleton between the carpal bones of the wrist; between the carpals and the metacarpals of the palm; between the tarsal bones of the ankle; and between the tarsals and the metatarsals of the foot.
