Classification of joints is done on the basis of:

I. the connective tissue that binds the bones together
II. the degree of motion at each joint
III. the number of bones that articulate with each other
IV. the embryonic tissue that formed the joint

1. I, II and III	2. II and III
3. I, II, III and IV	4. I and II

Given these types of joints:

a. gomphosis
b. suture
c. symphysis
d. synchondrosis
e. syndesmosis

Choose the types that are held together by fibrous connective tissue.

1. a, b, c

2. a, b, e

3. b, c, e

4. c, d, e
 

Identify the incorrectly matched pair:

What type of joints are intervertebral discs?
1. sutures.
2. syndesmoses.
3. symphyses.
4. synovial joints.

The primary cartilaginous joints and the secondary cartilaginous joints are respectively called:

1. sutures; synchondroses

2. syndesmoses; symphyses

3. symphyses; syndesmoses

4. synchondroses; symphyses

A space between the bones of the skull in an infant or fetus, where ossification is not complete and the sutures not fully formed is called a:

1. synchondrosis.

2. syndesmosis.

3. symphysis.

4. fontanel.

The type of joint between the first rib and the sternum is a
1. suture.
2. plane joint.
3. synchondrosis.
4. synovial joint.

The articulating bone surfaces at a synovial joint are not directly connected to each other with fibrous connective tissue or cartilage but their stability is due to the presence of:

1. fascia.

2. joint capsule.

3. tendon sheath.

4. aponeurosis.

The synovial fluid in the synovial cavity is secreted by:
1. both articulating bone.
2. articular cartilage cells.
3. adipose cells.
4. the synovial membrane.

The atlantooccipital joint is an
1. suture.
2. ellipsoid joint.
3. saddle joint.
4. pivot joint.
