The posterior cruciate ligament prevents hyperextension of the knee. True or False?
Mark the following statements as true (T) or false (F). If the statement is false, correct it so it is a true statement. a. The articulating ends of the bones in a synovial joint are covered by a synovial membrane. b. Articular discs improve the fit between two bones in a synovial joint. c. The joint capsule of a synovial joint is lined with a synovial membrane. d. Ligaments provide a smooth, nearly frictionless surface for articulation. e. Fluid-filled sacs called bursae often lie between tendons and the joint capsule of a synovial joint. f. A multiaxial joint allows gliding motion between two bones only.
