Explanation:

Answer 2

Gliding movement occurs at the joint of:

(c) WRIST

Reasons for the answer:

• Gliding movement in the human body occurs in specific joints such as the wrists, anklets, and spines in a human body.
• This is a type of sliding movement between two bones or at joints.
• This type of movement occurs when the surface of one bone slide or glide over the surface of another bone.
• This type of movement is neither angular nor rotatory but is simply the sliding of bones.
• Gliding movement does not occur at the joints of the knee, hip, and elbow.

The knee is a hinge joint so it allows only external rotational movement, flexion, and extension.

The hip is a type of ball and socket joint. It allows a wide range of motion including flexion, extension, external and internal rotational movement.

The elbow is also a hinge joint and it allows rotational movements.
