Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

Atlas/axis: Pivotal joint
Pivot joint, also called as rotary joint, or trochoid joint, in vertebrate anatomy, a joint that allows only rotary movement. It is exemplified by the joint between the atlas and the axis (first and second cervical vertebrae), directly under the skull, which allows for turning of the head from side to side.
Carpal/metacarpal of thumb: Saddle joint
A saddle joint is a synovial joint where one of the bones forming the joint is shaped like a saddle with the other bone resting on it like a rider on a horse. Saddle joints provide stability to the bones while providing more flexibility than a hinge or gliding joint.
Between phalanges: Hinge joint
A hinge joint is a common class of synovial joint that includes the ankle, elbow, and knee joints. Hinge joints are formed between two or more bones where the bones can only move along one axis to flex or extend.
Femur/acetabulum: Ball and socket joint
Ball and socket joint is a natural or manufactured joint or coupling, such as the hip joint, in which a partially spherical end lies in a socket, allowing multidirectional movement and rotation.
Between cranial bones: Fibrous joint
Fibrous joints are joints that have no joint cavity and are connected via fibrous connective tissue. The skull bones are connected by fibrous joints. 
Between pubic bones in the pelvic girdle: Ball and socket joint
Ball and socket joint is a natural or manufactured joint or coupling, such as the hip joint, in which a partially spherical end lies in a socket, allowing multidirectional movement and rotation.

Read the following statements carefully and select the appropriate option given below.
(i) Muscle contraction is initiated by a signal sent by the central nervous system via a motor neuron.
(ii) A complex protein troponin is distributed at regular intervals on the tropomyosin.
(iii) Mechanism of muscle contraction states that contraction of thick filaments
takes place over the thin filaments.
(iv) The Z line attached to actins are pulled outward thereby causing a shortening of sarcomere during contraction.
(v) Red muscles contain plenty of mitochondria which can utilise the large amount of haemoglobin for ATP production.

While studying the anatomical details of a muscle fibre, Raman was not able to locate the H-zone. Which option indicate the most appropriate reason for this situation?
  1. H-Zone appears in a contracted muscle state only, it cannot be located in a resting muscle fibre
  2. Raman may not be focussing at the central part of thick filament
  3. Raman should focus the edges of I-band to locate H-zone
  4. Raman should locate Z-line first as H-zone is present adjacent to it

In a temperate grassland system area of North America, vegetation has been destroyed by fire. What will happen to the net primary productivity and the local ecosystem when rains return in the next season?a. The grasses will grow back, but the herbivores that lived there will not return, as they wouldhave found new land to live on. Therefore, the net primary productivity would decrease.b. The grasses will not grow back, therefore the herbivores that lived there will not return. Thus,the net primary productivity would decrease.c. The grasses will grow back and the herbivores that lived there will return. The net primaryproductivity should also be similar to the previous season.d. The grasses will grow back and the herbivores that lived there will return. The net primaryproductivity would be less than the previous season.
