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".


Why is necessary that cartilage is present in all moving joints?
