On a physiological level, what has happened to cause these symptoms?
A. Disuse of the joint causes ossification of the fibrocartilage, creating arthritic joints. B. Lack of movement hinders blood from moving through the vessels of the synovial membrane, which starves the ligaments of nutrients and causes them to lose elasticity. C. Being stuck in the same position for long periods of time causes the ligaments to physically decay, stiffening the joints. D. Lack of movement drives the synovial membranes to stop producing synovial fluid, which then causes friction to generate upon movement of the joints.
