Absorbing shock during movement

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of the synovial membrane: The synovial membrane is a specialized connective tissue that lines the inner surface of capsules of synovial joints and tendon sheath. Its primary functions include secreting synovial fluid and reducing friction between the articular cartilages of synovial joints during movement.

Identify the functions of synovial fluid: Synovial fluid, secreted by the synovial membrane, serves to lubricate the joint, reduce friction, and provide nutrients to the articular cartilage.

Evaluate the options given in the problem: Consider each option and determine if it aligns with the known functions of the synovial membrane.

Option analysis: 'Providing nutrients to cartilage' and 'Secretion of synovial fluid' are both functions of the synovial membrane, as synovial fluid provides nutrients to the cartilage and is secreted by the synovial membrane.

Determine the incorrect function: 'Absorbing shock during movement' is not a function of the synovial membrane. Shock absorption is primarily the role of structures like cartilage and menisci, not the synovial membrane.
