Which term describes the lining that produces joint fluid?

• A. Supination
• B. Vertigo
• C. Synovial
• D. Thigh atrophy

Answer: (C)

Synovial describes the tissue lining the joints that produces lubrication. The synovial membrane lines the inner surface of the joint capsule and secretes synovial fluid, which reduces friction between the joint surfaces and nourishes the cartilage. The other terms are not related to joints: supination is a rotational movement of the forearm/hand, vertigo is dizziness, and thigh atrophy is muscle wasting. So the lining that makes the joint fluid is synovial.
