Lymph filled between two bones, limited movement: Gliding joint between carpals (B) Fluid cartilage between two bones, limited movements: Knee joints (C) Fluid filled between two joints provides cushion: Skull bones (D) Fluid filled synovial cavity between two bones: Joint between atlas and axis
Medium. Solution. Verified by Toppr. Correct option is A) A gliding joint is the simplest of the synovial joints. Gliding joints are found between the carpal bones and between the tarsal bones. Was this answer helpful?
The carpal bones are the eight small bones that make up the wrist that connects the hand to the forearm. These eight carpal bones are scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate and hamate.
The skull bones are connected by fibrous joints. Between pubic bones in the pelvic girdle: Ball and socket joint Ball and socket joint is a natural or manufactured joint or coupling, such as the hip joint, in which a partially spherical end lies in a socket, allowing multidirectional movement and rotation.
Gliding joints occur between the carpal bones, between the tarsal bones, and those between the articular processes (zygapophyses) of successive vertebrae. Cartilaginous joints are found between the epiphyses and diaphyses of long bones, between the occipital and the sphenoid bones, and during the early years of life, between the petrous portion of the temporal and the jugular process of the occipital bone.
Only a limited amount of movement is allowed such as the joints between the carpal bones, the joints between the tarsal bones; pivot joints allow rotational movement in a single plane - the rotation of the atlas on the axis. Fibrous (or immovable) joints are firmly held together by a thin layer of strong connective tissue.

The hip joint is an example of ball and socket joint. Saddle joint is the joint present between the carpal and metacarpal of thumb. It allows flexion, extension, adduction, abduction and circumduction movements. It provides stability and flexibility to bones.
Types of Bones synovial joint : Bones involved : A. Ball and socket (i) Carpal and metacarpal of thumb: B. Hinge (ii) Atlas and axis: C. Pivot (iii) Frontal and parietal: D. Saddle (iv) Knee (v) Humerus and pectoral girdle
Carpal/metacarpal of a thumb is joined by the saddle-shaped synovial joint. A synovial joint is a joint where one of the bones forming the joint is shaped like a saddle with the other bone resting on it like a rider on a horse. Saddle joints provide stability to the bones while providing more flexibility than a hinge or gliding joint.
