Question

A soccer player tears the synovial membrane near his knee. How will this affect the membrane's ability to

do its job?

A. There will be more friction when the bones in the joint try to move.

B. The space between the bones will solidify.

C. The tissue that connects bone to bone will no longer be protected.

D. The knee will fill with blood and become unmovable.

Answer 1

I think it’s A

I think so because the Synovial membrane acts as a lubricator, much like how oil lubricated the joints of the tin man. If the lubricants were removed, the friction would increase as there is no oil to decrease the friction and let the bones function properly
