Question

Assertion (A) The most abundant joints in human body are synovial joints.
Reason (R) Gliding joints offer movement in all the three planes/axis.

• A. If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• B. If both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
• C. If A is true, but R is false
• D. If A is false, but R is true

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Assertion is true, but Reason is false. Reason can be corrected as
Gliding joints offer movement only in one plane or axis like back and forth and side-to-side movements.
The most abundant joints in human body are synovial joints. These are characterised by the presence of a fluid filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements. These include ball and socket joint, hinge joint, pivot joint, gliding joint, etc.
