Name the component labelled A and describe a function of the respective component.
Articular Cartilage / found at the end of the bones,
preventing the bones to touch reducing the
friction.
Ligaments / join bone to bone and keep the
Synovial membrane / a connective tissue that
lines the cavity of joints and produces the
synovial fluid, which has a lubricating
function.
Joint capsule / holds the joint together
Name the component labelled B and describe a function of the respective component.
Cartilage / found at the end of the bones,
preventing the bones to touch reducing the
friction.
Ligaments / join bone to bone and keep the
Synovial Fluid / lubricate the joint to reduce friction
Joint capsule / holds the joint together
Name the component labelled C and describe a function of the respective component.
Ligaments / join bone to bone and keep the joint together
Synovial membrane / a connective tissue that
lines the cavity of joints and produces the
synovial fluid, which has a lubricating
function.
Cartilage / found at the end of the bones,
preventing the bones to touch reducing the
friction.
Joint capsule / holds the joint together
Hinge joints are also a synovial joint, formed by two or more bones where the bones can only move along one axis to flex or extend. Ex: Ankle, Elbow, Knees and Phalanges.

One function of the skeleton is blood production. Point two other functions of the skeleton and a correct example:
movement: the bicep is attached to the radius to pull the forearm upwards / joints allow movement;
shape / support: the bicep is attached to the radius to pull the forearm upwards / joints allow movement;
shape / support: the skull protects the brain / ribs protect the heart and lungs;
protection: the skull protects the brain / ribs protect the heart and lungs;
