Structurally, a bursa is a small, fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between tissues, while a meniscus is a crescent-shaped cartilage structure that provides cushioning and stability to joints. Functionally, bursae facilitate movement by allowing smooth gliding of muscles and tendons over bones, whereas menisci absorb shock and distribute weight across the joint, particularly in the knee. In summary, bursae primarily reduce friction, while menisci enhance joint stability and load distribution.

What are the differences between the medial and lateral meniscus?
Both the Medial and lateral menisci are outside the synovial cavity but within the joint cavity. The Medial meniscus is larger than the lateral meniscus. The Medial meniscus is C shaped where as the lateral mensicus is circular shaped. The Medial meniscus is directly attached to the medial collateral ligament, where as the Popliteal muscle interferes in between the attachment of lateral meniscus and lateral collateral ligament.
What is the difference between structural and functional proteins?
Structural Proteins form Structures, like bones and muscle. Functional Proteins are you used to do stuff, so pretty much everything else
What are the Structural differences between Methylsynephrine and 4-Hydroxyephedrine?
They are the same compounds.
What differences in fetal elimination of nitrogenous wastes account for the structural differences between pigs and humans?
There are no noticeable difference in fetal elimination of nitrogenous wastes which would account for the structural differences between pigs and humans. Waste is eliminated through urination.
What are Scientist who study the structural similarities and differences between organisms are called?
taxonomist
How the anatomical differences between arteries and veins reflect their functional differences?
Tunica adventitia is poorly developed in arteries then in veins
What do structural-functional theorists say about achieving a balance of power between men and women?
Change is happening :)
Scientists who study the structural similarities and differences between organisms are called?

What are the structural and functional differences between a plasma membrane and cell wall?
the membrane is thin bi-lipid (two-fat) layer that blocks out water the cell wall is a rigid cube like structure that surrounds a plant cell and gives it rigidity
How is the sulfur linkage in cysteine and cystine important for their structural and functional differences?
The sulfur linkage in cysteine and cystine plays a crucial role in their structural and functional differences. In cysteine, the sulfur forms a single bond with another cysteine molecule, creating a disulfide bond. This bond contributes to the protein's three-dimensional structure and stability. In contrast, cystine contains a disulfide bond between two cysteine molecules, which can affect the protein's overall shape and function. The presence or absence of these sulfur linkages can impact the protein's properties, such as its stability, activity, and interactions with other molecules.
What are two structural differences between pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein?
one is vein one is artery
Does meniscus always concave?
Do you mean is a meniscus always concave? If so, then no. For example, the meniscus of mercury is convex.
