What key component within the joint relies on movement to circulate and nourish cartilage?
- A) Ligaments
- B) Cartilage Fibers
- C) Synovial Fluid
- D) Bone Marrow
Unlike most tissues in the body, articular cartilage (the smooth white tissue covering the ends of bones) does not have its own blood supply (it is avascular). Because there are no blood vessels to deliver nutrients directly, it relies on the surrounding fluid for survival.
