Propolis Cognitive Error Autopsy

Official Correct Choice:
Option C: Cartilaginous joints
Concept:

Joint classification by tissue structure.

Formula:

N/A (Conceptual)

Solution:

  • Joints that allow slight, highly restricted movement to absorb shock are typically united by massive pads of tough fibrocartilage.


  • Both the pubic symphysis (connecting the pelvic halves) and the intervertebral discs (stacking the spine) fit this description perfectly, classifying them strictly as Cartilaginous joints.


Why other options are incorrect:

Synovial joints contain fluid and are freely movable. Fibrous joints (like skull sutures) are completely immobile.

Quality & Fidelity Assurance: Every question on BeambePrep is rigorously curated against the official PMDC syllabus with zero filler, zero out-of-syllabus content, and zero typos. When an authentic past paper originally contained a historical mistake or ambiguity from the examining board (such as UHS or NUMS), BeambePrep faithfully reflects the original paper while detailing the nuance and scientific consensus in the autopsy above.
