Answer 2

Fixed joints are found in (b) skull.

What are fixed joints?

• Fixed joints are joints where the bones are together joined and these bones cannot make any movement.
• A joint is a group of bones that are joined together at some point.
• When we talk about fixed joints, then these joints are very fixed and positioned in such a way that the bones cannot make any movement at the joints.
• The skull has fixed joints and cannot move its bones at those joints at any time.
• Whereas, the hands, hip bone, and lower jaw do not have any such joints and hence can be moved freely by a person.
