Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which type of joint allows movement in all directions, including rotation?

  1. Gliding joint
  2. Ball-and-socket joint
  3. Hinge joint
  4. Pivot joint
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — Ball-and-socket joint
A ball-and-socket joint, such as the hip or shoulder, allows movement in all planes including rotation because the rounded head of one bone fits into the cup-shaped socket of another. A hinge joint only allows movement in one plane (flexion and extension). A pivot joint only allows rotational movement around a single axis. A gliding joint allows limited sliding movement between flat bone surfaces.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is the main function of synovial fluid in a movable joint?

  1. To absorb shock and nourish cartilage
  2. To lubricate the joint and reduce friction
  3. To connect bone to bone across the joint
  4. To prevent bones from separating at the joint
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: B — To lubricate the joint and reduce friction
Synovial fluid lubricates the joint surfaces, reducing friction between the articular cartilages during movement. Ligaments connect bone to bone and help prevent separation. Cartilage absorbs shock and synovial fluid does nourish it, but the primary function of synovial fluid is lubrication. Ligaments, not synovial fluid, prevent bones from separating.

CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology: Support and Movement FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CXC CSEC students preparing for Human and Social Biology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Support and Movement practice with other Human and Social Biology topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Support and Movement questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CXC.
How is Support and Movement typically tested on CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology papers?
Support and Movement appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
