Which joint is more flexible in males than females?

  1. Public symphysis

  2. Deltoid ridge

  3. Deltoid tuberosity

  4. Sacroiliac joint


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The hip girdle is located in the lower part of the trunk. 

It is made up of three bones that are upper ileum, lower ischium and the pubis.
The acetabulum is formed by ileum, ischium and pubis but in mammals, the pubis is replaced by the cotyloid bone.

The pubic symphysis is present in mammals. The two innominate bones and sacrum together form a sort of bowel.
This is also an adaptation for the upright posture of the human body. The female pelvis is larger and has a broader front and larger bottom opening than the male pelvis. This is an adaptation for childbirth.

So, the correct option is 'Public symphysis'

Cervical vertebrate differ from other vertebra in having.

  1. Spinous process

  2. Centrum

  3. Transverse process

  4. Transverse foramen


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Spinous process is a bony projection off the posterior (back) of each vertebra. It provides the point of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine.

Each vertebra consists of a ventral body, or centrum, surmounted by a Y-shaped neural arch. Together the centrum and neural arch surround an opening, the vertebral foramen, through which the spinal cord passes.

Transverse process is a small bony projection off the right and left side of each vertebrae. They function as the site of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spine as well as the point of articulation of the ribs (in the thoracic spine). 

The cervical spine is much more mobile than the thoracic or lumbar regions of the spine. Unlike the other parts of the spine, the cervical spine has transverse foramina in each vertebra for the vertebral arteries that supply blood to the brain. Thus, option D is correct.

  2. Sternum and ribs $\rightarrow$ Axial Skeleton

  3. Clavicle and glenoid cavity $\rightarrow$ Pelvic girdle

  4. Humerus and ulna $\rightarrow$ Appendicuar skeleton


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The ear ossicles are made up of three bones called as malleus, incus, and stapes. They vibrate to conduct the sound waves from the outer ear to inner ear and then to the brain. There are two forms of the skeleton. The axial skeleton includes all the bones along the body axis (lengthwise). Sternum and ribs are a part of the axial skeleton. The appendicular skeleton includes all the bones that form the upper and lower limbs, and the shoulder and pelvic girdles. Clavicle and scapula are the parts of the pectoral girdle.

So, the correct answer is option C. 

Which is the part of pectoral girdle?

  1. Glenoid cavity

  2. Sternum

  3. Ilium

  4. Acetabulum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The glenoid cavity is a part of the shoulder girdle or pectoral girdle. It is a shallow pyriform, articular surface, which is located on the lateral angle of the scapula. The sternum, commonly known as the breastbone, is a long, narrow flat bone that serves as the keystone of the rib cage and stabilizes the thoracic skeleton. The ilium is the uppermost and largest bone of the pelvis and appears in most vertebrates including mammals and birds, but not bony fish. The acetabulum is the socket of the hipbone, into which the head of the femur fits. Thus, option A is correct.
