B
Secrete fluid to reduce friction
C
help hear better
D
distribute nutrients to cartilage
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A layer of connective tissue that lines the cavities of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae (fluid-filled sacs between tendons and bones). The synovial membrane makes synovial fluid, which has a lubricating function.

Detailed explanation-2: -Synovial fluid lubricates articular cartilage and provides nourishment through diffusion. It made from a ultrafiltrate of blood plasma, produced and regulated by the synovium.

Detailed explanation-3: -The synovial membrane (or synovium ) is the connective tissue which lines the inner surface of the capsule of a synovial joint and secretes synovial fluid which serves a lubricating function, allowing joint surfaces to smoothly move across each other.

Detailed explanation-4: -It lubricates the joint and allows the ends of the bones to move without friction. It contains nutrients needed for the cartilage at the ends of the bones and carries away waste from within the joint capsule. It acts as a shock absorber within the joint. 09-Jan-2022
