During a football game, a 20-year-old player experiences a helmet-to-knee collision. The initial assessment suspects damage to a joint with menisci. This joint's structural classification is most likely: a) Fibrous joint b) Cartilaginous joint c) Synovial joint* d) Synarthrosis e) Amphiarthrosis
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to classify the type of joint involved in a knee injury during a football game. The options given include different types of joint classifications, and we need to identify which one is most appropriate for the knee joint.
Answer
Synovial joint
The joint with menisci, such as the knee joint, is most likely a synovial joint.
Answer for screen readers
The joint with menisci, such as the knee joint, is most likely a synovial joint.
More Information
Synovial joints are the most common and movable type of joint in the body. They contain structures like the menisci, which help distribute weight and reduce friction during movement.
Tips
A common mistake is to confuse the types of joints. The presence of menisci strongly indicates a synovial joint.
