This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that reduces friction between bones involved in the joint?
articular cartilage
Animal tissue that reduces friction between bones at joints?
yes it reduces friction between bones, and also, synovial fluid reduces friction at the joints as well.
Where is cartilage found in a synovial joint?
Articular cartilage is cartilage which covers the surface of the bone in synovial joints. Its function is to reduce friction between the bones. It is a type of cartilage called hyaline cartilage.
What is the function of synonvial fluid?
The function of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement. Synovial fluid has an egg yolk-like consistency.
What is the smooth tissue that acts as a buffer between bones?
Cartilage is the smooth tissue that acts as a buffer between bones.
What avoids friction between bones?
Cartilage
What cushions and reduces friction between bones?
cartilage
What is the origin of osteoarthritis?
Articular cartilage, is responsible for the low friction and painless, articulation of synovial joints. Articular cartilage consists of a sparse distribution of highly specialized cells known as chondrocytes. These are are embedded in a matrix to provide articular cartilage withwonderful mechanical properties. Chondrocytes make up the tissue matrix macromolecular framework from three classes of molecules known as collagens, proteoglycans, and noncollagenous proteins. The Chondrocytes protect the cells from being damaged as a result of normal joint use, they determine the types and concentrations of molecules reaching the cells, acts as a mechanical signal transducer for the cells, and helps maintain the chondrocyte phenotype. Articular cartilage undergoes internal remodeling Throughout life as cells replace matrix macromolecules lost as a result of degradation. Aging decreases the ability of chondrocytes become less able to maintain and restore articular cartilage leading to an increase in the risk of degeneration of the articular cartilage surface. Progressive degeneration of articular cartilage leads to joint pain and dysfunction. This situation is clinically identified as osteoarthritis. Investigation regarding the pathogenesis of post traumatic osteoarthritis, the form of osteoarthritis that develops following joint injury, is helping to explain the development and progression of joint degeneration.
What do joints consist of?
Synivial joints have a synovial cavity between the articulating bones. This cavity is filled with synovial fluid that reduces friction at the joint, enabling the articulating bones to move freely.
Which is the best lubricant to reduce friction between two surfaces?
the best lubricant to reduce friction between two surfaces is to put butter or olive oil on to make the surfaces slippery o
Does overpolishing of surfaces increase the friction between them?
No it does not. It will actually reduce the friction between them.
Does the cartilage reduce friction between bones?
Yes, it does, since it acts as a cushion between the bones
