Q: Is Kramizo really free for CXC Human and Social Biology students?

Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, across any board and any subject, with no card required and no trial countdown. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Q: Are the Human and Social Biology questions aligned to the CXC CSEC syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology syllabus and reviewed for accuracy before being added to the bank. We match the command words (state, describe, explain, evaluate), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'll see on real CXC past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

A cricketer in the Caribbean dislocates his shoulder during a match. Which structures are most likely to be damaged at this ball-and-socket joint?

Accepted Answer

Ligaments and the joint capsule — A dislocation occurs when the bones of a joint are forced out of their normal position, which primarily damages the ligaments and joint capsule that hold the bones together and enclose the joint. Tendons connect muscle to bone and are more commonly damaged in strains. While cartilage and the synovial membrane may be secondarily affected, the primary structures damaged in a dislocation are the ligaments and joint capsule.

Answer

Cartilage and the synovial membrane

Answer

Ligaments and the joint capsule

Answer

The synovial membrane and tendons
