Question

nt 11. plane joint 2. Which of the following statements is true? a. An articular capsule covers the articular surface of each bone in a synovial joint and reduces friction. b. A labrum is the innermost layer of an articular capsule. c. The innermost layer of the articular capsule secretes synovial fluid d. Articular capsules are only found in synchondroses and symphyses. e. An articular capsule is composed primarily of hyaline cartilage. Activity 2: Demonstrating Movements Allowed by Joints 1. Fill in the blank with the appropriate term: a. Movement of a body part away from the midline b. Movement of the sole of the foot laterally c. Movement of a bone around its own longitudinal axis d. Movement of a bone toward the midline of the body e. A decrease in the angle between articulating bones f. Continuation of extension beyond anatomical position g. Rotation of the forearm and hand medially so that the palm faces posteriorly h. Movement of the foot so that the toes are pulled up toward the head i. Anterior movement of a body part j. Movement of the distal end of a body part in a circle 2

Explanation / Answer

2)

A) Articular surface of bones in each joint is covered by articular cartilage which is a type of hyaline cartilage. Therefore, the given statement is true.

B) The outer layer of articular cartilage is called as fibrous layer and inner layer is called as synovial layer. Labrum is a fibrocartilaginous ring present in the acetabulum. Therefore, the given statement is false.

C) The inner surface of the articular capsule is surrounded by synovial membrane. Synovial fluid is secreted by the synovial membrane. So, the given statement is true.

D) Articular cartilages are found in synovial joints. Therefore, the given statement is false.

E) Articular cartilage is composed primarily of hyaline cartilage. So, the given statement is true.
