Question

Synovial fluid; __________.a. is a double layer of tissue that encloses a joint b. lines the joint everywhere except over the articular cartilage c. is a thin lubricating film covering the surface of a joint

Answer 1

c) option is correct

Explanation:

• Each synovial joint has a fibrous capsule surrounding the joint, which helps hold the bones together, along with the ligaments (which join bone to bone) and tendons (which join muscle to bone)
• The joint capsule is lined by the synovial membrane, which manufactures the synovial fluid
• The synovial fluid is located within the joint cavity of a synovial joint and has three primary functions:  Lubrication , nutrient distribution  and shock absorption
