How does articular cartilages differ from other cartilages in the body?
Articular cartilages lack a perichondrium, and their matrix contains more water than does the matrix of other cartilages.
Where do the articular cartilages arise from?
Articular (AKA Hyaline) cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue, which differentiates into chrondrocytes and begins secreting extracellular matrix.
Articular cartilages of what joints are rough and flaking off with bone spurs at the ends?
The most common for this condition is at the tibiofemoral joint (knee).
Definition of joint cavity?
a joint cavity, the potential space bounded by the synovial membrane and articular cartilages of all synovial joints. Normally, the articular cavity contains only sufficient synovial fluid to lubricate the internal surfaces.
Why are catilage and fluid needed in a joint?
The principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilages of synovial joints during movement.
What arthritis is an age-related erosion of articular cartilages and formation of painful bony spurs?
Age-related erosion of articular cartilages and formation of painful bony spurs are characteristic of ostoearthrosis, sometimes called arthrosis. It is colloquially known as arthritis, which is misleading, because arthritis is a class of diseases with articular inflammation, the archetype of which is rheumatoid arthritis. The four radiological signs of arthrosis are asymmetrical joint space loss, bony spurs, subchondral sclerosis and geodes (holes in the underlying bone). Chondrocalcinosis and cartilagenous loss, and articular malalignment are other signs. Although arthrosis is usually age related, a number of other causes are recognized, such as trauma and occupational arthrosis.

Protects articular surface of the bone?
Articular Cartilage
What do joints consist of?
Synivial joints have a synovial cavity between the articulating bones. This cavity is filled with synovial fluid that reduces friction at the joint, enabling the articulating bones to move freely.
Peri - articular?
Peri-articular refers to the area around the joint. Articular would be referring to the actual joint.
What does the word Articular mean?
Anything that relates to the joints is articular.
