A

Diffusion

31
Q

(T/F) Cartilage damage can be sensed immediately and is able to heal most injuries given time.

Q

What are the two main functions of hyaline (articular) cartilage?

A
  • Decrease friction in the joint
  • Distribute load and resist compression
34
Q

Increasing the level of (proteoglycans/water) within hyaline cartilage causes it to become more flexible.

A

35
Q

Increasing the level of (proteoglycans/water) within hyaline cartilage causes it to become more stiff.
