Question

Synovial joints have these features: an articular capsule, a joint cavity containing synovial fluid, articular cartilage, ligaments, blood vessels and nerves.A. True
B. False

Answer 1

Answer: True.

Explanation:

Synovial joints are joint that join bones with fluid filled cartilage cavity called synovial cavity, this have the space that contain the synovial fluid. The joint capsule is made up of outer layer, articular capsule that keep the bone together, and inner layer, the synovial membrane that seals the synovial fluid. The bones of synovial joint are covered with hyaline cartilage layer which line the epipysises of the joint end bone. The articular cartilage help to reduce shock and ease movement. The types of synovial joints are pivot, hinge, saddle,condyloid, plane, ball and socket joints. The synovial joints have ligaments and blood vessels.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

A space between the two bones of the synovial joint is called the joint cavity. It allows the synovial joints to move freely. The layer of hyaline cartilage covers the bones of the synovial joints. This is called articular cartilage. It forms a slippery surface to cover the bones. Due to the presence of cartilage, the friction is reduced between bones of the joints during movement.

Synovial joints may also have accessory ligaments present outside or within the articular capsule of the joints. Nerve endings are present in the articular capsule and the related ligaments of these joints. Similarly, blood vessels enter the ligaments and articular capsule of these joints.
