← Human Body & HealthWhich outcome occurs with tibia overload during gait?
A)Bone fracture via stress concentration✓
B)Synovial fluid viscosity increase
C)Erythrocyte production rate increase
D)Decreased cartilage proteoglycan synthesis
💡 Explanation
A bone fracture results because increased stress surpasses the bone's yield point, leading to stress concentration at microscopic flaws. This initiates crack propagation and subsequent fracture, therefore overload causes breakage rather than synovial changes caused by inflammation.
