Chapter 9, Problem 3RQ
In general, the most important factor (s) determining the stability of synovial joints is (a) interlocking shapes of the articular surfaces; (b) reinforcing ligaments; (c) ligaments and muscle tone; (d) synovial fluid, which acts like glue; (e) the body’s wrapping of skin, which holds the limbs together.

In general, the most important factor(s) determining the stability of synovial joints is (a) interlocking shapes of the articular surfaces; (b) reinforcing ligaments; (c) ligaments and muscle tone; (d) synovial fluid, which acts like glue; (e) the body’s wrapping of skin, which holds the limbs together.
The factors that influence the stability of a synovial joint include
(a) Shape of articular surfaces
(b) Presence of strong reinforcing ligaments
(c) Tone of surrounding muscles
(d) All of these
Match the parts of a synovial joint listed in the key to their functions below. (More than one part may apply.)Key: (a) articular cartilage (b) ligaments and fibrous layer of capsule(c) synovial fluid (d) muscle tendon__(1) keeps bone ends from crushing when compressed; resilient__(2) resists tension placed on joints__(3) lubricant that minimizes friction and abrasion of joint surfaces__(4) helps prevent dislocation
