PYQ NEET- Human Physiology-Locomotion And Movement

Q.1.

Rigidity is not a characteristic of a joint because joints are designed to allow for movement. The other three choices are all characteristics of bones.

Q.2.

The muscles that help in the movement of the head are the sternocleidomastoid and splenius capitis. These muscles are responsible for blinking and smiling, respectively.

Q.3.

Tendons are made up of collagen fibers. Collagen is a strong, flexible protein that is found in many different tissues in the body. It is responsible for providing strength and flexibility to tendons.

Q.4.

The joint between the humerus and the scapula is a gliding joint. This type of joint allows for a wide range of motion, including rotation and flexion.

Q.5.

Synovial joints are joints that have a fluid-filled cavity between the bones. This fluid helps to lubricate the joint and reduce friction. Synovial joints are found in the knee, elbow, and ankle.
