Question

In symphysis joints the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with ________.

A.) hyaline cartilage
B.) fir
C.) tendon sheaths
D.) synovial membranes

Answer 1

Synovial joints in the body have their articular surfaces covered with hyaline cartilage that allows for smooth movement. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid that lubricates the joints.

Step-by-step explanation:

Friction between the bones at a synovial joint is prevented by the presence of the articular cartilage, a thin layer of hyaline cartilage that covers the entire articulating surface of each bone. Lining the inner surface of the articular capsule is a thin synovial membrane. The cells of this membrane secrete synovial fluid, a thick, slimy fluid that provides lubrication to further reduce friction between the bones of the joint.
