Read the following statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1: Locomotion is the movement of an individual from one place to another.
Statement 2: All movements are locomotions but all locomotions are not movements.
(b) Locomotion is a voluntary movement by an organism from one place to another. It is difficult to separate movement from locomotion. The two are linked by stating that all locomotions are movements but all movements are not locomotion.
Microfilaments are involved in
(a) Microfilaments are usually made up of two strands of actin and are almost \(7 \mathrm{~nm}\) in size. They are involved in functions like cytokinesis, amoeboid movement, changes in cell shape, endocytosis and exocytosis, cell contractility, and mechanical stability.
So, the correct answer is ‘amoeboid movement’.
The amoeboid movement is found in
(d) Some specialised cells in our body like macrophages and leucocytes in blood exhibit amoeboid movement. It is effected by pseudopodia formed by the streaming of protoplasm (as in Amoeba). Cytoskeletal elements like microfilaments are also involved in amoeboid movement.
Passage of ova through female reproductive tract is facilitated by
(a) There are three main types of movements shown by the cells of the human body, viz., amoeboid, ciliary and muscular. The cilia of the fallopian tubes (oviducts) show movement for the transport of ova inside the reproductive tract.

(b) Some specialised cells in our body like macrophages and leucocytes in blood exhibit amoeboid movement. It is effected by pseudopodia formed by the streaming of protoplasm (as in Amoeba). Cytoskeletal elements like microfilaments are also involved in amoeboid movement. Ciliary movement occurs in most of our internal tubular organs which are lined by ciliated epithelium. The coordinated movements of cilia in the trachea help us in removing dust particles and some of the foreign substances inhaled alongwith the atmospheric air. Passage of ova through the female reproductive tract is also facilitated by the ciliary movement.

Which of the following ions help in muscle contraction?
(d) During muscle contraction, both \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}\) are used. Ca \(a^{2+}\) helps in the formation of actomyosin by combining actin and myosin proteins. This will provide contraction in muscle. ATPase activity of myosin requires both \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}\) and \(\mathrm{Mg}^{2+}\). This helps in the release of energy. This energy is used up in the contraction of muscle.

The type of joint between the human skull bones is called
(c) Fibrous joint is present between the human skull bones. It does not allow movement as the bones are firmly held together by bundles of strong white collagen fibres.
Which one of the following is the correct description of a certain part of a normal human skeleton?
(a) Parietal bone and temporal bone of the skull are joined by fibrous joint (immovable joint). First cervical vertebra is atlas. The last two pairs \(\left(11^{\text {th }}\right.\) and \(\left.12^{\text {th }}\right)\) of ribs are called floating ribs. Glenoid cavity is a depression to which humerus articulates.
What is the name of joint between adjacent vertebrae in a vertebral column?
(a) In slightly movable or cartilaginous joints, the opposing surfaces are connected by cartilage, which allows very little movement. Its example is joints between adjacent vertebrae.
Synovial joint is exemplified by
(d) Synovial joints are characterised by the presence of a fluid filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. Such an arrangement allows considerable movement. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements. Ball and socket joint (between humerus and pectoral girdle), hinge joint (knee joint), pivot joint (between atlas and axis), gliding joint (between the carpals) and saddle joint (between carpal and metacarpal of thumb) are some examples.
The joint of femur with pelvic girdle is
(d) In a ball and socket joint, a ball like structure of one bone fits into a socket like structure of another bone. Joint between acetabulum of pelvic girdle (hip girdle) and head of femur is an example of ball and socket joint.
The joint of radio-ulna with the upper arm is
(a) The joint of radio-ulna with the upper arm, i.e., elbow is a hinge joint. This joint allows the movement only in a single plane.
Read the given statements and select the correct option.
Statement 1: Articulation between the occipital condyles and the atlas vertebra forms a hinge joint.
Statement 2 : Hinge joint is a monaxial joint.
Which one of the following pairs of structures is correctly matched with their description?
(b) Tibia connects to the femur to form the knee joint with the patella. Shoulder joint is of ball-and-socket type and elbow joint is a hinge joint. Joint between maxilla and teeth is fibrous (immovable) joint.
The joint in which one of the two bones is fixed in its place and bears a peg like process over which the other bone rotates is called
(c) The joint in which one of the two bones is fixed in its place and bears a peg like process over which the other bone rotates is called pivot joint, So, the correct option is ‘pivot joint’.
The joints between the carpal bones are
(a) Joints between carpal bones are gliding joints. A gliding joint is a type of synovial joint whose articular surface is usually flat, permitting only back-and-forth and side-to-side movements.
Which of the following pairs is correctly matched?
(b) The gliding joint allows sliding movements of two bones over each other. The joint between carpals and tarsals is of this type.
