Which of the following pairs, is correctly matched ?

Options

A. Cartilaginous joint - skull bones
B. Hinge joint - between vertabrae
C. Fibrous joint - between phalanges
D. Gliding joint - between zygapophyses

Answer

To determine which of the following pairs is correctly matched, we will analyze each option provided in the question.

1. **Cartilaginous Joints and Skull Bones**:
- Cartilaginous joints are joints where the bones are entirely joined by cartilage, allowing for some movement.
- However, the skull bones are connected by fibrous joints (sutures), which do not allow movement.
- Therefore, this pair is **incorrect**.

2. **Hinge Joint and Between Vertebrae**:
- Hinge joints are a type of synovial joint that allow movement in one plane, commonly found in the elbow, knee, and ankle.
- The joints between vertebrae are classified as cartilaginous joints, which allow limited movement.
- Thus, this pair is also **incorrect**.

3. **Fibrous Joint and Between Phalanges**:
- Fibrous joints are found between the skull bones and do not allow movement.
- The joints between phalanges are hinge joints, which do allow movement.
- Hence, this pair is **incorrect**.

4. **Gliding Joint and Between Zygapophysis**:
- Zygapophysis refers to the joints between the vertebrae, which are classified as gliding joints.
- Gliding joints allow for sliding movements between the articulating surfaces.
- Therefore, this pair is **correct**.

Based on the analysis, the correctly matched pair is **Gliding Joint and Between Zygapophysis**.

### Summary of the Correct Answer:
- The correct answer is **Option 4: Gliding Joint and Between Zygapophysis**.
