Question 7- Long Answer Type Questions.

Question. Explain different types of joints present in human body.
Answer- (1) Fixed Joints- Joints where no movement of bones is possible. For example joints in skull.

(2) Movable Joints- The joints where movement of bones is possible. It has four types-
(i) Ball and Socket Joint- In this joint a ball like end of one bone moves in socket like end of another bone. For example joint in shoulder.
(ii) Pivot Joint- In this joint a cylinder like end of one bone rotates in ring like end of another bone.
For example joint in neck.
(iii) Hinge Joint- This joint is like hinge in door. It allows movement of bones only in one direction i.e. up and down or back and forth. For example joints in elbow and knee etc
(iv) Gliding Joint- This joint allows bones to glide over each other. For example joint in wrist.

Question. Explain the locomotion of fish.
Answer- The fish has streamlined body. Fish produces regular jerks by making curves and pushes the body forward. The body movements like change in directions while swimming and to maintain balance is helped by fins.
