Which of the following is not a function of synovial fluid?

shock absorption
nutrient distribution
maintenance of ionic balance
lubrication of the articular surfaces
waste disposal

Respuesta :

Answer:

maintenance of ionic balance

Explanation:

This is a viscous fluid formed from the ultrafiltration   of the plasma.it therefore contains plasma proteins and protein from the cells within the synovial cavities. It major role is to reduce friction by lubricating  articular surfaces. Othrer functions are listed in the options except  maintenance of ionic balance

The maintenance of ionic balance is maintained  by homeostatic mechanisms and organs e.g kidney, in the body.

The maintenance of ionic balance IS NOT a function of the synovial fluid.

The synovial fluid is a thick liquid located in the cavities of the synovial joints.

This synovial fluid helps to:

  1. reduce the friction between the joints
  2. keep the bones slightly separated
  3. absorb shocks
  4. remove carbon dioxide (CO2) and metabolic wastes
  5. lubricate the joints, thereby facilitating movement.

In conclusion, the maintenance of ionic balance IS NOT a function of the synovial fluid.
