Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: The joints - ESL worksheet by isdefran
Let’s go step by step to solve this problem.

We are given a skeleton with arrows pointing to different joints, and we need to write the correct joint name in each blank box. At the bottom, there is a word bank:
Neck - shoulder - wrist - knee - ankle - hip - elbow

Also, at the very bottom, we have to sort those joints into two groups: ARM JOINTS and LEG JOINTS.

---

First, let’s match each arrow on the skeleton to the correct joint name from the word bank.

1. The top-left arrow points to the shoulder (where the arm connects to the body). The diagram shows a ball-and-socket joint — that’s the shoulder.
2. The top-right arrow points to the neck (between head and spine). The diagram shows a pivot joint — that’s the neck.
3. The middle-left arrow points to the elbow (bend of the arm). The diagram shows a hinge joint — that’s the elbow.
4. The middle-right arrow points to the wrist (between hand and forearm). The diagram shows a gliding joint — that’s the wrist.
5. The lower-left arrow points to the knee (big bend in the leg). The close-up image shows the knee joint.
6. The lower-right arrow points to the hip (where leg connects to pelvis). The close-up image shows the hip joint — also a ball-and-socket like the shoulder.
7. The bottom-center arrow points to the ankle (between foot and lower leg).

So now we can fill in the boxes:

Top left → shoulder
Top right → neck
Middle left → elbow
Middle right → wrist
Lower left → knee
Lower right → hip
Bottom center → ankle

Now, for the table at the bottom: “Write: ARM JOINTS” and “LEG JOINTS”

Arm joints are: shoulder, elbow, wrist
Leg joints are: hip, knee, ankle
(Neck is not an arm or leg joint — it’s part of the spine/head, so we don’t put it in either column.)

Wait — but the instruction says to use the words from the list: Neck, shoulder, wrist, knee, ankle, hip, elbow.

And the table only has two columns: ARM JOINTS and LEG JOINTS.

So we should only put the joints that belong to arms and legs.

That means:

ARM JOINTS: shoulder, elbow, wrist
LEG JOINTS: hip, knee, ankle

(Neck is left out because it’s not in the arm or leg.)

But let’s double-check: Is the hip considered a leg joint? Yes — it connects the leg to the body. Same with shoulder for the arm.

Final Answer:

ARM JOINTS: shoulder, elbow, wrist
LEG JOINTS: hip, knee, ankle

──────────────────────────────────────

Final Answer:
ARM JOINTS: shoulder, elbow, wrist
LEG JOINTS: hip, knee, ankle
