A. Human skull is monocondylic.
B. The joint between any two adjoining vertebrae is a cartilaginous joint.
C. In human beings the number of cervical vertebrae is seven.
D. All ribs except the last 2 pairs are bicephalic.
E. The occipital bone of skull is articulated with atlas vertebra.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
B, C and E only
Let’s check each statement:
A. Human skull is monocondylic → Incorrect
Human skull is dicondylic (two occipital condyles).
B. The joint between any two adjoining vertebrae is a cartilaginous joint → Correct
Intervertebral joints are cartilaginous (slightly movable) joints.
C. Number of cervical vertebrae is seven → Correct
Humans have 7 cervical vertebrae.
D. All ribs except last 2 pairs are bicephalic → Incorrect
Ribs typically have a single head; classification here is incorrect.
E. Occipital bone articulates with atlas vertebra → Correct
The occipital condyles articulate with the atlas (C1) forming the atlanto-occipital joint.
