What are the functions of fluid in the body?
To reduce friction between the bones. It also lubricates the joints and allows smooth movements.
What is the name of the material that covers the end of bones to reduce friction at joint?
articular cartilage a subset of hyaline cartilage
Which tissues covers the ends of the bones at the joint?
Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of bones in many joints. It provides a slippery surface to reduce friction during bone movement.
What keeps cartilage slippery?
because it needs to be able to reduce friction between bones
What is the function of articular cartilage?
To cusion the bones from rubbing and smacking on each other. It also allows gliding motions.The main function of the articular cartilage is to provide a smooth surface where the bones connect and touch. It also lubricates that area and makes sure there is low friction.
Does Articular cartilage increase friction between bones?
Cartilage in joints REDUCE friction.
Does the cartilage reduce friction between bones?
Yes, it does, since it acts as a cushion between the bones
What tissue on bones end that absorbs shocks and reduce friction?
Cartilage
What are the functions of fluid in the body?
To reduce friction between the bones. It also lubricates the joints and allows smooth movements.
Is cartilage slippery?
because it needs to be able to reduce friction between bones
What is the name of the structures that are on the ends of bones to reduce friction where they articulate with other bones?
our joints, which are made up of mainly cartilage.
What provides a smooth slippery surface over bones to help reduce friction?
cartilage
What is the name of the material that covers the end of bones to reduce friction at joint?
articular cartilage a subset of hyaline cartilage
What is the difference between a bursa and the joint capsule?
I this its the following: Bursae - located between skin and bones, tendons and bones, muscles and bones, or ligaments and bones - Main function: reduce friction between joints Joint Capsule - surrounds a synovial joint and encloses the synovial cavity - Main function: unite the articulating bones and reduce friction via production of synovial fluid
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.
What is skeletal adaptations of the human skeleton?
sketon has a synovial fluid which reduce friction,has joint where 2 bones met extra..
Why is fluid important between bones?
Synovial fluid is important between the bones because it helps reduce the friction between the bones. This fluid also lets a person move his joints more freely.
