Joints: The place where two bones meet in a skeleton
Movable Joints Immovable or fixed Joints
They are joints which move. They are joints which do not move.
Ball and socket joint: Fixed Joint:
A ball and socket joint is a movable joint. It In this joint, no movement is possible

shoulder joints.
Hinge joint:
This joint moves like a hinge in one plane
only, just like the hinge of a door. Eg. The
elbow joint between the humerus and the
ulna. The joints between the bones of the
fingers and toes, and less perfectly, the knee
joint. Hinge joints usually gives sufficient
power because there is less danger of
twisting at the joint.
Pivot joint:
One bone rotates over a pivot-like end of the
other bone. The skull rotates on the upper
end of the
back bone.
Question and Answers
Q: Which of the skull bones are movable?
Answer: Only the lower jaw in skull bones is movable.
Q: What are bones made up of?
Answer: Bones are made up of Calcium, Phosphorus, and other minerals.
Q: Name the longest bone in the human body.
Answer: The longest bone in the human body is the thigh bone or femur. It is about 45cm long.
Q: Name the smallest bone in the human body.
Answer: Stapes is the smallest bone present inside the ear.
Q: Why do doctors use X-Ray images?
Answer: Sometimes when we are hurt, or have an accident, doctors use these X-ray images to find out if
there is any injury to the bones. The X-rays show the shapes of the bones in our bodies.
Q: List some important parts of the skeleton.
Answer: Skull, Ribcage, Vertebral Column (Backbone or Spine), Pelvic bones, Shoulder bones, Arms
bones and leg bones.
Q: What is a Ribcage? How does it help our body?
Answer: Ribcage is box like structure which is a part of our skeletal system. It consists of 12 pairs of
curved bones called ribs. They join the chest bone and the backbone together to form a box. Ribcage
protects the internal organs of the body like the heart and lungs.
Q: What is a skull? What is its function?
Answer: The bony part of head is called skull. The skull is made up of many bones joined together.
Only the lower jawbone is movable. It protects the brain.
Q: Do muscles push and pull both?
Answer: No, muscles can pull only. That’s why to move a bone, a pair of muscles act in opposite directions.

Q1. What is the difference between Ligament & tendon?
Answer: The difference between a tendon and a ligament is that a tendon connects muscle to bone, while a
ligament connects two bones. Tendon lets your muscles move bones, whereas ligaments stabilize joints.
Q2. Why do we feel the bulge on the arm when we bend it?
Answer: It is due to the contraction and relaxation of biceps and triceps.
Q3. Old people generally suffer from joint pain. What is joint pain? What are the causes of joint pain?
Answer: Joints provide support and help you move. Any damage to the joints from disease or injury can
interfere with your movement and cause a lot of pain.
Many different conditions can lead to painful joints, including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, gout,
strains, sprains, and other injuries.
Q4. When there is a fracture in the bone, why do we put a support before going to the doctor?
Answer: So that there is no further displacement of the bone.
