Question

Which joint is more flexible in males than females?
A. Public symphysis
B. Deltoid ridge
C. Deltoid tuberosity
D. Sacroiliac joint

Answer 1

Hint: The connection between the bones in the body which is linked to the skeletal system for the functioning of the whole body is called joint. Different types of joints in the body have different types of movement and degree of motion. Depending on the individual, the flexibility of joints differs.

Complete answer: Joint which is also called articulation refers to the connection between bones which are linked to the skeletal system of the body. Each joint of the body performs different types of motion depending on the different degrees of the movement of the joint. Some of the joints of the body are self-lubricating which are able to withstand the heavy load and compression and still able to execute smooth and precise movements. Some of the self-lubricating joints are the elbow joint, knee joint, and shoulder joint. The range of movement in a joint and the length in the muscle that crosses the joint which induces a bending movement or a motion is referred to as flexibility. Flexibility is also called limberness. In mammals, pubic symphysis is present. In the lower part of the trunk, a hip girdle is present which is made up of ileum, ischium, and pubis. The pubis is formed by two innominate bones and a sacrum. The pelvis of a female is larger than the male pelvis. The female pelvis has a broad front and bottom opening and is also larger in females than in males. Females have adapted this for the purpose of childbirth.
So, option A is the correct option.

Note: The synovial membrane and articular cartilage surrounds the joint in the human body. The synovial membrane and articular cartilage act as a protection cover, cushion, and provides nutrients to the joints. Joint dislocation is caused by damaging the cartilage of the joints. The flexibility of the joint is increased by increasing the muscular elasticity of the joint’s range of mobility.
