Video transcript

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together which of the following pairings of joint types and their corresponding examples is incorrect. And here we have four different answer choices containing a joint type and a corresponding example that we have to determine which of the following pairings is incorrect. Starting off with answer choice A, we see we have the Atlanto axial joint which is a type of pivot joint, which we know that answer choice A is a true pairing since the Atlanto axial joint is a pivot joint because the Atlanto axial joint is involved in rotational movement. So answer choice A cannot be the correct answer. Next. We have answer choice B which says that the elbow joint is a type of hinge joint which we know that answer choice B is also a true pairing. Since the elbow joint is a type of hinge joint because the elbow joint is involved inflection or extension of the forearm. So answer choice B cannot be the correct answer. Next. We have answer choice C which says that the knuckle joint is a type of plane joint which we know that the knuckle joint is not a type of plane joint. So answer choice C is a incorrect pair. Since the knuckle joint is a type of conde loy joint, which is involved inflection, abduction, abduction, and circumduction in multiple planes. So answer choice C is the correct answer. And lastly, we know that answer choice D is not the correct answer since it says that the hip joint is a ball and socket joint, which is also a true pairing. since the hip joint is a ball and socket joint in which the femur, which is the ball inserts into the acetabulum, which is the socket. So answer choice, D is not the correct answer and answer choice C is the only answer choice with an incorrect pair. So it is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
