Q

All statements are correct about synovial fluid except one.

A. Joint is enclosed in a fibrous joint capsule, lined by cartilage and lubricated by synovial membrane fluid.
B. Type A cells are macrophage-like cells located in the
superficial layer.
C. Type B cells are fibroblast-like cells that produce hyaluronic
acid fibronectin, and collagen.
D. Provides nutrients to the articular cartilage.

A

A

  • cartilage lining should actually be the synovial membrane lining the capsule
  • synovial fluid is responsible for lubrication, not synovial membrane fluid.

Q

CRYSTAL POLARIZATION

  • molecules run parallel to the long axis of the crystal

  • This is considered negative birefringence (subtraction of velocity from the fast ray).
A

MSU crystals

92
Q

CRYSTAL POLARIZATION
