Question:
The junction of two pubic bones is the _____.
(a) anterior superior iliac spine
(b) sacroiliac joint
(c) symphysis pubis
(d) Iliac fossa
(e) Ischial tuberosity.
Types of Joints:
The human body has over 350 joints that are formed when two or more bones articulate with each other. These joints are classified by their function and also by the structure. Functionally joints are defined based on the ability to move and are known as synarthroses, amphiarthroses, and diarthroses, while structurally they are defined based on the type of tissue present in the joint and these are known as fibrous, cartilaginous and synovial.
