Explain the impact on a synovial joint that has sustained damage to the articular cartilage
What will be an ideal response?
Damage to the articular cartilage of a synovial joint can contribute to the development of arthritis. Arthritis is defined as the inflammation of one or more joints, resulting in pain and decreased range of motion. There are three common forms of arthritis that result in the same basic symptoms. However, each form results from a different mechanism by which the cartilage breaks down and the underlying bone is damaged.
