General structure
-
joint cavity = a potential space between the two bones, filled with synovial fluid
Articular capsal= double layered capsule surrounding cavity; External, tough flexible fibrous capsil; synovial membrane= loose CT lining of fibrous capsule, that also covers all internal joint surfaces excluding hyaline cartilage
Reinforcing ligaments= ligaments that strengthen joints - a ligament joins a bone to another bone across a synovial - usually thickened portion of fibrous capsule
Synovial fluid = viscous lubricating fluid within cavity. - reduces friction between cartilage of 2 bones -provides' weeping lubrication- nourishes cartilage - contains phagocytes
Other joint features
-
-
Bursa = flattened fibrous sacs with synovial membrane and fluid that act as ball bearing to prevent friction on adjacent structures during joint activity:
-
located between skin and bone ( where skin rubs over bone ) and between muscles , tendons , ligaments and bone

Types of synovial joints
-
-
-
-
-
Condyloid joint
permit all angular motion, except rotation Ex wrist and knuckles
Type of joint movement
-
-
gliding movements = when flat bone surfaces glide or slide over one another Occurs at cartilaginous joints
