The cartilages are placed horizontally above each other, separated by narrow intervals. They measure about 4 mm in depth and 1 mm in thickness. Their outer surfaces are flattened in a vertical direction, but the internal are convex, the cartilages being thicker in the middle than at the margins.
A synthetic analog is a: synthetically created compound that differs from the Natural compound. Both in it's structure and function. Although probably very similar to the original compound.
Synthetic oil is a lubricant consisting of chemical compounds that are artificially made (synthesized). Synthetic lubricants can be manufactured using chemically modified petroleum components rather than whole crude oil, but can also be synthesized from other raw materials.he technical advantages of synthetic motor oils include: 1  Better low-and high-temperature viscosity performance at service temperature extremes. 2  Better (higher) Viscosity Index (VI). 3  Better chemical and shear stability. 4  Decreased evaporative loss. 5  Resistance to oxidation, thermal breakdown, and oil sludge problems.
