How are the oxygenation needs of the articulating areas in a synovial joint met?
A) Capillaries release oxygenated blood into the synovial cavity at a controlled rate.
B) The cartilage of the articulating areas uses anaerobic metabolism exclusively.
C) Oxygen is provided to the articulating areas indirectly by synovial fluid.
D) The epiphyses of long bones provide oxygen to the articulating areas.
Ans: C
Feedback:
The articulating areas are nourished indirectly by the synovial fluid that is distributed over the surface of the articular cartilage. Blood is not normally released into the synovial cavity, and the cells of the articulating areas are not capable of anaerobic metabolism. The epiphyses of long bones do not provide oxygen to the articulating areas in a synovial joint.
