it reduces friction between bones, and also, synovial fluid reduces friction at the joints as well.

Can you eat an animal that died of rigor mortis?
Rigor mortice is the (temporary) stiffening of joints after death. Animals do not die of rigor mortice.
Any animal with joints but no backbone such as spider or scorpion?
Athropod or Athropoda, from the Greek arthron, "joint", and podos "foot", which together mean "jointed feet". Includes insects, arachnids and crustaceans.
Do spiders have six jointed legs?
Yes, six joints between seven leg parts: tarsus, metatarsus, tibia, patella, femur, trochanter, coxa.
What joint on a horse is pivot of action?
Pivot joints in horses include their head and their hips. This joints allow them to rotate without endangering themselves in the process.
Are the joints in the human arm and chicken wing different?
yes
Is there friction in your body?
Friction exists in the joints between the bones. Cartilage reduces the drag.Also, blood flowing through the vessels causes friction. That is where we get the blood pressure from.
What type of tissue covers the epiphysis bones and reduces friction in the joints?
Articular cartilage
What reduces friction in a joint?
A comination of cartillage and synovial fluid resduced the frinction at synovial joints. Cartillagenous and fibrous joints dont really move and so dont need to have friction reduced.
What cushions joints?
Cartilage is the major cushion for joints, in synovial joints however they are cushioned by a fluid sac.
Does Articular cartilage increase friction between bones?
Cartilage in joints REDUCE friction.
What is the role of synovial liquid in your joints?
Synovial fluid is a thick, stringy fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg-like consistency (synovial comes from Latin for "egg"), synovial fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage and other tissues in joints to lubricate and cushion them during movement.
What allows smooth joint movement?
The joints in our body contain a fluid known as the synovial fluid which facilitates smooth movement as it reduces the friction between the bones
Synovial fluid is present in joint cavities of freely movable joints what is true about this fluid?
Synovial fluid looks and feels like egg whites, hence their name. It reduces friction between the bones in the joint.
Where is ligament?
A ligament is located in many joints of the body, including the knee and shoulder . Ligaments are the tough, fibrous tissue between joints to reduce friction.
What happens to joints when there is no synovial fluid?
The membrane type associated with connective tissue is the synovial membrane. This important membrane type is found in the spaces between bone joints and produces a slippery substance called synovial fluid, which greatly reduces friction when joints move.THERE WILL BE NO MOMENT IF SYNOVIAL FLUID IS ABSENT Synovial fluid lubricates hinge joints (knee, elbow and finger joints) ball-and-socket joints (shoulder, hip) and gliding joints (wrist, ankle). Without it, joints would not move freely and would become arthritic.
How does water lubricate joints?
Technically speaking, lubricant is a substance that reduces friction between objects. Albeit water is not a great lubricant at all, in the term though, yes water is a lubricant. There are many great lubricants which are water (aqua) based.
How do cartilage bursae and synovial fluid help reduce friction in the knee joints?
Bone articulate at joints. There are several kinds of joints. The most flexible are the synovial joints, such as the knee and elbow. In these joints the ends of the bones are covered with articular cartilage. The cartilage protects the ends of the bones. Synovial fluid bathes the cartilage to provide lubrication. This is just like oil in a door hinge to keep it running smoothly. The bursa is a bag that surrounds the joint. It's job is to hold the fluid in the joint. The lining of the bursal also makes the fluid. It is a neat system to keep the joints "oiled".
