Question 1 • GA-Essentials of Healthcare

Joints can be classified by their structures. Which is an example of a cartilaginous joint?

Answer
A
The joints that articulate the bones of the skull.
B
The joints that articulate the bones of the spine.
C
The joints that articulate the bones of the pelvis.
D
The joints that articulate the bones of the legs.

Explanation

The joints between most neighboring vertebrae contain pads of fibrocartilage called intervertebral discs, so they are cartilaginous joints. Skull bones are joined mainly by fibrous sutures, while leg joints are generally synovial. Thus, the joints that articulate the bones of the spine are the best example.
