Card 6 / 17: If the articular cartilage at the end of one of your long bones were to degenerate, what symptoms do you think you would experience? Why?
Answer:
If the articular cartilage at the end of one of your long bones were to deteriorate, which is actually what happens in osteoarthritis, you would experience joint pain at the end of that bone and limitation of motion at that joint because there would be no cartilage to reduce friction between adjacent bones and there would be no cartilage to act as a shock absorber.
