What is the advantage of the low permeability of the synovial fluid in the cartilage during impact? Select one: a. Locking the fluid in the cartilage to increase boundary lubrication. b. Locking the fluid in the synovial cavity to increase elastohyrodynamic lubrication. c. Allowing the fluid flowing freely in and out of the cartilage. d. None of the choices here.

Expert Solution
Step 1
Synovial joints are characterized by a fluid-filled cavity formed by the outer fibrous joint capsule and inner synovial membrane. The synovium (synovial membrane) secretes synovial fluid for lubrication for frictionless movement between articular cartilages. Synovial joints are freely movable joints. For example shoulder joint, elbow joint, and knee joint.
