All are diarthrotic | Synovial joint |
Many are amphiarthrotic | Cartilaginous joints |
Bones are connected by a disc of hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage | Cartilaginous joints |
Nearly all are synarthrotic | Fibrous joint |
Shoulder, hip, jaw, and elbow joints | Synovial joint |
Explanation of Solution
A synovial joint consists of a cavity. It is made up of dense and irregular connective tissue and forms the articular capsule. The capsule is linked with the accessory ligaments. The ends of the joint bones are surrounded by a smooth glass-like hyaline cartilage.
The fibrous joints are sutures, gomophoses, and syndesmoses. Suture is narrow and joins most of the bones of the skull together. Syndesmosis is a slightly movable joint where bones are joined together by a connective tissue.
The fibrous joints are attached to each other by a connective tissue. This tissue consists of collagen fibers. The fibrous joint has three types, namely, suture, gomphosis, and syndesmoses.
The cartilaginous joints are attached to each other by a cartilage. It allows more movement between two bones as compared to the fibrous joint. The primary cartilaginous joints are known as synchondroses and the secondary cartilaginous joint is symphysis.
The synovial joint is known to be diarthrotic. It joins with the fibrous joint capsule that is continuous with the periosteum of the fixed bones. It consists of an outer boundary of synovial cavity.
Amphiarthrosis is a kind of continuous and slightly movable joint. The contiguous bony surface can be symphysis that is connected by broadly flattened discs and an interosseous membrane. It is seen in cartilaginous joints.
The cartilaginous joint involves the fibrocartilage or the hyaline cartilage. The joints are slightly movable, that is, they are amphiarthrotic. They are connected by cartilage and allow the movement of bones.
The fibrous joints can be synarthrotic or amphiarthrotic. The sutures are synarthrotic joints and are situated between the bones of the skull. The edges of the bones are interlocked and they are bound together at suture.
The hip, shoulder, and jaw consist of a synovial joint. A synovial joint consists of a cavity. It is made up of dense and irregular connective tissue and forms the articular capsule.

- With reference to their absorption spectra of the oxy haemoglobin intact line) and deoxyhemoglobin (broken line) shown in Figure 2 below, how would you best explain the reason why there are differences in the major peaks of the spectra? Figure 2. SPECTRA OF OXYGENATED AND DEOXYGENATED HAEMOGLOBIN OBTAINED WITH THE RECORDING SPECTROPHOTOMETER 1.4 Abs < 0.8 06 0.4 400 420 440 460 480 500 520 540 560 580 600 nm 1. The difference in the spectra is due to a pH change in the deoxy-haemoglobin due to uptake of CO2- 2. There is more oxygen-carrying plasma in the oxy-haemoglobin sample. 3. The change in Mr due to oxygen binding causes the oxy haemoglobin to have a higher absorbance peak. 4. Oxy-haemoglobin is contaminated by carbaminohemoglobin, and therefore has a higher absorbance peak 5. Oxy-haemoglobin absorbs more light of blue wavelengths and less of red wavelengths than deoxy-haemoglobinarrow_forwardWhich ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits. The subunits are joined by disulphide bonds. Each subunit covalently binds a haem group. Conformational change in one subunit can be transmitted to another. There are many variant ("mutant") forms of haemoglobin that are not harmful.arrow_forwardWhich ONE of the following is FALSE regarding haemoglobin? It has two alpha subunits and two beta subunits.

- How many types of reactions can an enzyme perform?arrow_forwardYour goal is to produce black seeds resistant to mold. So you make the same cross again (between a homozygous black seeded, mold susceptible parent and a homozygous white seeded and mold resistant parent), and, again, advance progeny by SSD to create 100 F10 generation plants. Based on the information you obtained from your first crossing experiment (Question #4), how many F10 plants would you expect to have black seeds and be resistant to mold? Assume that a toxin produced by the mold fungus has been isolated. Only mold resistant seeds will germinate in the presence of the toxin. Could you use this toxin screening procedure to have segregation distortion work in your favor in the F2 generation? Explain your answer. Info from Question 4 a. P Locus (Seed Color): Hypothesis: The null hypothesis (H₀) is that seed color is controlled by alleles at a single locus. Observed Data: Total white seeds: 45 (resistant plants) + 6 (susceptible plants) = 51 Total black seeds: 7 (resistant…arrow_forward10.
