Common features:
1. Articular cartilage - covers opposing bone surfaces.
2. Joint cavity.
3. Articular capsule - cavity enclosed by a double-layered articular capsule. Synovial membrane lines the capsule internally and covers all internal joint surfaces that are not hyaline cartilage.
4. Synovial fluid: provides a slippery weight-bearing film that reduces friction. Also provides nourishment to the cartilage.
5. Reinforcing ligaments: joints reinforced and strengthened by a number of ligaments.
