Which of the following statements is true of a synovial joint?
The synovial joint is stabilized by bursae
The joint cavity space tends to stay the same through life even with trauma
The bursae produce synovial fluid
Synovial fluid lubricates the joint and prevents excessive wear on the joints
Answer:
OPTION 4th is Correct : Synovial fluid lubricates the joint and prevents excessive wear on the joints.
All other options are wrong, since,
Whole synovial joint is stabilised by bursae and tendon sheaths.
Joint cavity space may get hampered in senility or old age and even trauma may hamper joint capsule.
Synovial membrane which lines bursae produces synovial fluid.
