'Provides nutrients to the ACL' is not a function of the meniscus.

The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of tough with rubbery cartilage that acts as a shock absorber between the shinbone and the thighbone. It can be torn if you suddenly twist your knee while bearing weight on it.

The function of meniscus include- they act as shock absorbers and stabilize the knee. The meniscus act to disperse the weight of the body and reduce friction during movement. The menisci increase stability for femorotibial articulation, absorb shock, provide lubrication and nutrients to the knee joint.

Thus, the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee receives its nutrition from a direct vascular supply, so the meniscus cannot provide nutrients to the ACL.

Hence, option B is correct.

The circle theorems include:

  • The angle at the center is twice the angle that's at the circumference.
  • The angle in a semicircle is a right angle.
  • Angles in the same segment are equal.
  • The opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral equal 180°.

<h3>How to explain the theorem?</h3>

It should be noted that circle theorems are simply about finding the arc lengths, angles, and areas of the sector of the circle.

Some of the theorems include the angle at the center is twice the angle that's at the circumference, the angle in a semicircle is a right angle, etc.

The circle theorem can be used in real life application by a photographer to focus his lens. The radius of the lens will be used to determine the focal length. Also, it should be noted that the aperture of the camera depends on the diameter of the lens.
