Select the correct statement with respect to locomotion in humans:

1. Accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints causes their inflammation
2. The vertebral column has 10 thoracic vertebrae
3. The joint between adjacent vertebrae is a fibrous joint
4. The decreased level of progesterone causes osteoporosis in old people

Correct answer: Accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints causes their inflammation

Solution

The correct statement describes gout, where uric acid crystals deposit in joints and cause inflammation. The other options are incorrect because humans have 12 thoracic vertebrae, adjacent vertebrae are joined by cartilaginous structures, and osteoporosis is mainly linked to reduced estrogen, not progesterone.
