Classify the joint and describe briefly any one with example:
Ans: There are three types of Joints
1. Fibrous joint
2. Cartilaginous joint
3. Synovial joint
Synovial joint
Synovial joints allow for movement. Where the bones meet to form a synovial joint, the bones' surfaces
are covered with a thin layer of strong, smooth articular cartilage.
Examples: Plane Joint, Hing Joint, Pivot Joint, Ball and Socket Joint, Condyloid Joint, Saddle Joint,
Ellipsoid Joint.
Q2. Describe and Differentiate Between the types of cartilages with example:
Ans: There are three types of cartilage:
1. Hyaline Cartilage i.e most common, found in the ribs, nose, larynx, trachea
2. Fibrocartilage i.e is found in invertebral discs, joint capsules, ligaments.
3. Elastic cartilage i.e is found in the external ear, epiglottis and larynx.
Q3. Write short note on uterus with its blood supply, nerve supply and lymphatic
drainage?
Ans: The uterus is a hollow muscular organ located in the female pelvis between the bladder and
rectum. The ovaries produce the eggs that travel through the fallopian tubes. Once the egg has left the
ovary it can be fertilized and implant itself in the lining of the uterus.
Blood Supply: Uterine artery.
Nerve Supply: Uterine artery.
Lymphatic drainage: obturator lymph nodes.
Ans: Breast situated in the pectoral region. The breasts are specialized accessory
glands of the skin that secrete milk.
They are present in both sexes and share similar structure in males and
immature females. The nipples are small and surrounded by a colored area of
skin called the areola
Pancreas
During digestion, your pancreas makes pancreatic juices called enzymes. These enzymes break down
sugars, fats, and starches. Your pancreas also helps your digestive system by making hormones.
Q1. Describe posterior abdominal wall
Ans: The posterior abdominal wall is formed in the midline by the five lumbar
vertebrae and their intervertebral discs and laterally by the 12th ribs, the
upper part of the bony pelvis, the psoas muscles, the quadratus lumborum
muscles, and the aponeuroses of origin of the transversus abdominis muscles.
The main parts of the system are the SA node, AV node, bundle of HIS, bundle branches, and
Purkinje fibers.
Q5. Write short note on Lungs and Difference between right and left lungs
Ans: During life, the lungs are soft and spongy and very elastic. Lungs covered with
visceral pleura. Lungs have Apex, Base, Costal Surface and Mediastinal surface.
Ossification of bones:
This process involves the replacement of hyaline cartilage with bone. It begins when mesoderm-derived
mesenchymal cells differentiate into chondrocytes. Chondrocytes proliferate rapidly and secrete an
extracellular matrix to form the cartilage model for bone.
Q4. A. Which types of joints present b/w femur and hip bone?
B. What are the characteristics feature of synovial joint?
Ans: A. The hip joint is a ball-and-socket synovial joint:
B. Synovial joints. In this type of joint, bones can perform larger movements, in part, because joint
surfaces are coated with hyaline cartilage.
Q5. What are anatomical position of Human Body and describe planes:
Ans: Standing upright and facing forward with each arm hanging on either side of the body, and
the palms facing forward. The legs are parallel, with feet flat on the floor and facing forward.
Nervous Tissue: Nervous tissue is found in the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. It is responsible for
coordinating and controlling many body activities
Classification of Ribs
1. True Ribs
2. False Ribs
3. Floating Ribs
