GCSE PE- Synovial Joints structure and Exam question

The video tutorial focuses on synovial joints, explaining their components such as cartilage, synovial fluid, ligaments, and bursa. It highlights their roles in joint stability and injury prevention. The video also provides exam preparation tips and recommends resources like Seneca Learning for further study.

What are synovial joints primarily found in?

• The ribcage

• The spine

• The limbs

• The skull

What is the primary function of cartilage in synovial joints?

• To connect muscles to bones

• To produce synovial fluid

• To act as a shock absorber

• To store calcium

How does synovial fluid benefit joint movement?

• By increasing bone density

• By absorbing nutrients

• By reducing friction

• By strengthening ligaments

What is the role of ligaments in synovial joints?

• To hold bones together

• To connect muscles to bones

• To produce synovial fluid

• To cushion the joint

What is a dislocation in terms of joint injuries?

• A joint out of its normal position

• A rupture of the synovial membrane

• A tear in the muscle

• A fracture in the bone

What is the function of the bursa in a synovial joint?

• To produce cartilage

• To store calcium

• To reduce friction

• To connect ligaments

Which of the following is NOT a function of synovial fluid?

• Reducing friction

• Lubricating the joint

• Providing nutrients

• Acting as a shock absorber
