Question
Which of the following is an example of a PIVOT joint?
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Pivot joints are found in the neck between the atlas and axis. This joint permits nodding and rotation, as the atlas rotates around the odontoid process of the axis, allowing the head to turn side to side.
Hint
This joint allows rotation around a central axis, enabling the 'no' motion.
