NEET Zoology Skeletal System MCQ Question
Which of the following statements about the skeletal system is correct?
The axial skeleton consists of 80 bones including the vertebral column and ribs.
Cartilaginous joints allow free movement between the bones they connect.
The skeletal system comprises a total of 206 cartilages in addition to bones.
Fibrous joints are found in the limbs and allow significant movement.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The axial skeleton indeed consists of 80 bones that include the vertebral column and ribs, as mentioned in the NCERT context. Cartilaginous joints provide limited movement, not free movement, and the skeletal system is made up of bones and a few cartilages, not 206 cartilages. Fibrous joints do not allow any movement and are found in the skull.
