Q. What is the name of joint between ribs and sternum?

AIPMTAIPMT 2000Locomotion and Movement

Solution:

Cartilaginous joint is present between ribs and sternum. It allows only limited movement. An angular joint allows movement in two directions - side to side and back and forth. Wrist and metacarpophalangeal joints are of this type. Gliding joint permits sliding movements of two bones over each other, e.g. joints between sternum and clavicles. Fibrous joints do not allow movement and are present between the bones of cranium.
