bones connected by ligaments
seperated by a joint cavity
highly mobile joints
-
Which of the following are functions of synovial fluid?
lubricant
reduces friction
nutrient
cleanser
hydrostatic shock absorber
-
Which of the following are functions of articular cartilage?
improve bone-to-bone fit at joint
increase joint stability
reduce pressure when joint is loaded
reduce friction and prevents wear
some shock absorption
-
Which of the following increase joint stability?
bone-on-bone compression
reciprocal convex and concave shapes of the articulating ends of bones
articular cartilage
fibrocartilage
-
Which of the following is not a factor that affects joint flexibility (i.e., range of motion)?
articulating bones - the shapes of the articulating bones may limit range of motion
ligaments - shortening and/or twisting of ligaments can limit range of motion
bulkiness of soft tissues - a person with larger muscles or large amounts of fatty tissue
friction within the joint - any wearing or damage to the articular cartilage increases joint friction
