Answer to Problem 1CRQ
Correct answer: The given statement “A bursa is a synovial fluid pocket outside a joint capsule” is true.
Explanation of Solution
A bursa is a pouch-like, small, thin, and fluid-filled structure. It is present in connective tissue outside a joint capsule. The synovial fluid is present in a bursa, and a synovial membrane lines that structure. Generally, a bursa is present where a tendon or ligament rubs against the other tissues.
Hence, a bursa is a pocket-like structure consisting of synovial fluid and present outside the joint capsule.
