In symphysis joints, the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with which type of cartilage?
A
Fibrocartilage
B
Articular cartilage
C
Elastic cartilage
D
Hyaline cartilage
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the structure of symphysis joints: Symphysis joints are a type of cartilaginous joint where the bones are connected by fibrocartilage, allowing limited movement.
Recognize the role of cartilage in symphysis joints: The articular surfaces of the bones in these joints are covered with a specific type of cartilage to reduce friction and provide cushioning.
Identify the types of cartilage: There are three main types of cartilage in the body—hyaline cartilage, fibrocartilage, and elastic cartilage. Each has distinct properties and functions.
Focus on hyaline cartilage: Hyaline cartilage is smooth and glass-like, providing a low-friction surface for joint movement. It is commonly found covering the articular surfaces of bones in joints.
Conclude that in symphysis joints, the articular surfaces of the bones are covered with hyaline cartilage, which ensures smooth articulation and protection of the bone ends.
