Question

Syndesmology is the study of
A. Ligaments and bones
B. Syndromes
C. Joint articulations and ligaments
D. Monstrals

Answer 1

Hint:-It is a branch of anatomy which deals with scientific study. Ligaments are those connective tissues which connect bone to bone, Syndromes are a group of symptoms.

Complete step-by-step solution:-If we look at options, Option A is Ligaments and bones. Ligaments is a fibrous connective tissue which connects bone to bone and study of ligaments is called Desmology. Bones give structure to the human body and study of bones is called Osteology. Since both study of ligaments is related to syndesmology but study of bones is not called as Syndesmology, this option is incorrect as in the question study of Syndesmology is asked.
Moving to option B which is Syndromes. Syndrome is a disease or disorder which has a group of symptoms and study of syndromes is called psychopathology which means that Syndesmology is not the study of syndromes. Since study of syndromes is not called as Syndesmology, this option is incorrect and it gets eliminated.
Moving to option C which is Joint articulations and ligaments. Study of joint articulations and ligaments is called Syndesmology. It deals with ligaments and ligaments are those fibrous tissues which connect one bone to another and it also deals with joint articulations and therefore, this option is the correct one.
Last option is Monstrals. Study of monstrals and foetal abnormalities is called teratology. But in this question study of Syndesmology is asked and monstrals are not related to it. Therefore, this option is incorrect and it gets eliminated.
Thus, the correct answer is option C which is Joint articulations and ligaments.

Note:-
 From all the given options, Syndesmology deals with the study of joint articulations and ligaments which is option C. You can get confused with option A too but syndesmology deals with study of ligaments not the bones as study of bones is called as osteology. Due to which option A gets eliminated.
