Which of the following statement(s) about the structures making up a synovial joint is incorrect? Articular cartilage reduces friction between articulating surfaces in the joint during movement and helps to absorb shock. Synovial fluid which contains hyaluronic acid and interstitial fluid, helps to nourish chondrocytes, absorb shocks, and supply nutrients and remove wastes. Articular discs absorb shocks and help to distribute synovial fluid across the articular surfaces of the joint. All of these are correct statements.

All of these are correct statements

Explanation:

The synovial joint is found between bones that move against each other. The joint types include the ball and socket, pivot, hinge, saddle and plane joints..

The synovial joints structure is made up of;

A)The articulate capsule which has the fibrous layer and the synovial layer. The fibrous layer holds the bones in place and the synovial layer or synovium, secretes synovial fluid and also plays a role in the exchange of nutrients between the joint and blood.

B) The synovial fluid which helps in lubricating, absorbing shock and also circulating nutrients within the joint.

C) The articular cartilage which is a thin lining of hyaline cartilage that covers the bone surfaces that are in contact with each other thereby reducing friction during joint movements and absorbing shock.
