Question

The joint where the synovial capsule and synovial fluid are lacking is:
A) Carpals
B) Pubic symphysis in females
C) Finger' and toes in males
D) Femur and pelvis in females

Answer 1

Hint:
Joints are essential for all types of movements involving the bony parts of the body. Locomotory movements are no exception to this. Joints are classified by movement or tissue type movement i.e., immoveable, slightly moveable, and freely movable (fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial). The articulation of two or more bones forms a joint.

Complete answer:
Synovial joint is also called the gliding joint. The bony surface that the joint holds together are flat, or slightly rounded. This joint holds two or more bones together. It also allows the bone to move relative to each other. These are characterized by a fluid-filled synovial cavity in the articulating surfaces of the two bones. This arrangement helped in considerable movement. Gliding joints help in locomotion and other movements. Gliding joint is present between carpals and the saddle joint between carpals and metacarpals. The joint between the femur and pelvis is called the hip joint. This is a ball and socket joint i.e., synovial. So synovial fluid is present inside it.
Pubic symphysis in females does not have any synovial joint. It has a fibrocartilaginous disc sandwiched between the articular surfaces of the pubic bones.

Option ‘B’ is correct

Note:
Acetabulum is the socket and the femoral head is the ball in the hip joint. It articulates the femur and pelvis connecting the axial skeleton to the lower body parts The pelvis is a large, irregularly shaped bone that is flattened
