Question

Which of the following is not a function of synovial fluid?

Answer 1

Answer:

Maintenance of ionic balance

Explanation:

Synovial fluid:*A fluid that lubricates joints and prevents two cartilage caps from rubbing together*. Small sacs filled with Synovial fluids are called *Bursae*, they help *reduce friction in the joint*.

Functions of Synovial fluid include:

1)Lubrication of articular surface*

2)Nutrient distribution*

3)Shock absorption*

4)Waste disposal*

Note that Maintenance of ionic balance is not a function of Synovial fluid.

Answer 2

Answer:

maintenance of ionic balance

Explanation:

This is a viscous fluid formed from the ultrafiltration   of the plasma.it therefore contains plasma proteins and protein from the cells within the synovial cavities. It major role is to reduce friction by lubricating  articular surfaces. Othrer functions are listed in the options except  maintenance of ionic balance

The maintenance of ionic balance is maintained  by homeostatic mechanisms and organs e.g kidney, in the body.
