    A) Angular joint                             

    B) Fibrous joint

    C) Cartilaginous joint

    D)                    Gliding joint

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] In angular joint, articulating surface of one bone is oval and convex whereas that of the other is elliptical and concave, it allows movement only in two directions, e.g., wrist. Fibrous joints are inmovable joints, e.g., sutures of skull. Cartilaginous joints have little motility due to disc of fibrocartilage between the articular ends In gliding joints articulate end of both the bones are either flat or curved to allow gliding movements, e.g., between carpals and wrist.
