Understanding Synovial Joints

What is the primary function of synovial fluid in a joint?

• It acts as a shock absorber

• It lubricates the joint

• It joins bones to other bones

• It connects muscle to bone

Which bones make up the knee joint?

• Femur and Tibia

• Femur and Fibula

• Tibia and Radius

• Humerus and Tibia

What do ligaments connect?

• Joint capsule to synovial membrane

• Muscle to bone

• Bone to bone

• Bursae to cartilage

What is the role of cartilage in a joint?

• To produce synovial fluid

• To connect bones

• To prevent bones from rubbing together

• To hold the joint capsule

What is the function of a tendon?

• It joins bone to bone

• It lubricates the joint

• It joins a muscle to a bone

• It absorbs shock

What is the purpose of the synovial membrane?

• To create synovial fluid

• To connect muscles to bones

• To hold bones together

• To absorb shock

Where is the bursae located in the knee joint?

• Inside the synovial membrane

• Along the ligaments

• Between the femur and tibia

• At the outer edge of the knee

What is the function of the joint capsule?

• To join bones to other bones

• To produce synovial fluid

• To connect muscle to bone

• To hold the joint together

How does the synovial fluid help prevent joint injuries?

• By connecting bones more tightly

• By increasing friction

• By lubricating the joint

• By absorbing shock

What is the primary role of the femur in the knee joint?

• To produce synovial fluid

• To act as the main shock absorber

• To connect to muscles

• To serve as the thigh bone
