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
