Which of the following is not a unique feature of a synovial joint?
Correct answer: D. Fibrocartilage
- A. Articular capsule
- B. Articular cartilage
- C. Synovial fluid
- D. Fibrocartilage
Explanation
Fibrocartilage is the tough, very strong tissue found predominantly in the intervertebral disks and at the insertions of ligaments and tendons; it is similar to other fibrous tissues but contains cartilage ground substance and chondrocytes. "Fibrocartilage" is not present in all the synovial joints; therefore, it is not a unique characteristic of synovial joints.
