Answer the Following Questions.

Question 1.
Write short notes on different types of joints in our body.
Answer:
1. The point where two bones meet is called a joint.
2. Joints are of two types. They are movable and immovable (fixed).
3. Movable joints are four types namely 1. Ball and socket 2. Hinge 3. Sliding 4. Pivot
joints.

  1. Ball and socket: The rounded end of one bone fits into the hollow end of the other bone. Such a joint allows movement in all directions. This joint is known as the ball and socket joint. It is present at the shoulder and at the hip region.
    AP Board 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Movement and Locomotion 1
  2. Hinge joint: Like the hinge of a door, the joint which helps the bones to move in one direction is called a hinge joint. These are present at the elbow and knee.
    AP Board 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Movement and Locomotion 2
  3. Sliding joint: The joint where the bones slide over each other is called the sliding joint. It is present in the vertebral column, wrist, and ankle.
    AP Board 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Movement and Locomotion 3
  4. Pivot joint: The joint that joins the skull to the backbone is called the pivot or neck joint, pivot or neck joint.

Question 2.
What are the uses of muscles and bones?
Answer:

  1. Muscles helps in the locomotion and movements of the body, they also provide shape and structure to the body.
  2. Bones provide a base to muscles. They have a key role in body movements and the shape of the body.

Question 3.
Differentiate the ball and socket joint from the hinge joint.
Answer:
AP Board 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Movement and Locomotion 6

Question 4.
How is the body of a fish suitable for swimming?
Answer:

  1. The skeleton of the fish is covered with strong muscles.
  2. While swimming,-muscles make the front part of the body swing towards one side while the tail swings its body towards the opposite.
  3. This creates a jerk and pushes the body forward.
  4. A series of such jerks help the fish swim forward.
  5. The tail fins also aid in this movement.

Question 5.
Guess who I am?
i) I am a joint that works like a joint of doors and windows.
Answer:
Hinge joint.

ii) I help to join two bones.
Answer:
Ligament.

iii) I am a joint between the upper jaw and skull.
Answer:
Fixed joint.

iv) I am a chain of small-small bones.
Answer:
Vertebral column or backbone.

v) I join the bone and muscle.
Answer:
Tendon.

Question 6.
What would happen if there are no bones and joints in our body?
Answer:
If there are no bones and joints in our body

  1. we do not have a particular body shape,
  2. movements and locomotions are not possible.
  3. Simply we become round as mass body.

Question 7.
What would happen if there is a single bone in your fingers?
Answer:
If we have a single bone in our fingers.

  1. we can’t fold the fingers.
  2. we can’t catch or hold anything.
  3. it becomes hard to get food.
  4. we cant manage any apparatus.
  5. in the evaluation, we become so backward.

Question 8.
Draw a neat and labeled diagram of the Ball and socket joint and write its location and uses.
Answer:
AP Board 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Movement and Locomotion 5
These joints are located in the shoulders and hip region. It is used in swinging and rotating movements.

Question 9.
How do you appreciate locomotion in birds?
Answer:
I feel wonder about flying of birds.
They have wonderful wings and attractive feathers. Birds are only creatures that fly easy to escape.
This feature also help them in long journey to migrate. I feel its beautiful if I have wings to fly.

Question 1.
Collect information regarding joint pains from an orthopedic.
Answer:
Joint pain can be discomfort, pain or inflammation arising from any part of a joint — including cartilage, bone, ligaments, tendons or muscles. Most commonly, however, joint pain refers to arthritis or arthralgia, which is inflammation or pain from within the joint itself.

  • Inflammatory foods. “Arthritis” is a general term encompassing conditions that share joint pain and inflammation ….
  • Fried and processed foods …
  • Lower your Ages ….
  • Sugars and refined carbs ….
  • Dairy products ….
  • Alcohol and tobacco ….
  • Salt and preservatives ….
  • Corn oil
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs called NSAIDs help relieve joint swelling, stiffness, arid pain — and are among the most commonly used pain killers for people with any type of arthritis.

Natural relief from Arthritis pain

  • Weight.
  • Exercise.
  • Heat and cold.
  • Acupuncture.
  • Meditation.
  • Fatty acids.
  • Turmeric.
  • Massage.

Question 2.
List out the activities that you performed at your home and which joints were involved in each activity.
Answer:
We cannot perform any movement without the involvement of joints. They have key role in our daily activities.
ACTIVITIES                     INVOLVED JOINTS
1. Walking                     Hinge and gliding joints
2. Running                     Hinge and gliding joints
3. Bowling                      Ball and socket joint
4. Playing                       Ball and socket, hinge, gliding, and pivot joints

Question 5.
Collect X-ray films and identify which body part they represent and write a note on them.
Answer:

  • Gliding joint: A gliding joint is a joint which allows only gliding movement.
    AP Board 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Movement and Locomotion 9
    The gliding joint allows one bone to slide over the other. The gliding joint in your wrist allows you to flex your wrist. It also allows you to make very small side-to-side motions. There are also gliding joints in your ankles and backbone.
  • Pivot joint: Only allows rotating movement. The joint that joins the skull to the backbone is called the pivot or neck joint.
    AP Board 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Movement and Locomotion 10
  • Ball-and-socket joint: The ball-shaped surface of one bone fits into the cup-like shape of another. Examples of a ball-and-socket joint include the hip and the shoulder.
    AP Board 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Movement and Locomotion 11
  • Hinge joint: The ends of the bones are shaped in a way that allows motion in two directions, forward and backward. Examples of hinge joints are the knees and elbows.
    AP Board 6th Class Science Solutions Chapter 12 Movement and Locomotion 12
  • Rib cage: Ribs are bent which joins the chest bone and the backbone together to form a box. This is called the rib cage.
