Synovial fluid is found in the joint capsule and acts as a lubricant for articulating surfaces.
joint
Synovial joints allow for movement between the articulating bones (in this case the sternum and the clavicle). The articulating bones are covered in articular cartilage, which are connected with ligaments and lined with a synovial membrane. There is a fluid-filled sac between these types of joints to reduce the amount of friction with movement and the fluid inside of these sacs is called synovial fluid.
To permit or prevent movement of two articulating joint surfaces in the body in a specific range of motion.

Seperate the articulating surfaces. Makes the joint more stable minimizes wear and tear on joint surfaces

A joint
It's a point in the range of motion of a joint at which articulating surfaces are the least congruent and the supporting structures are the most lax .

joint
In the shoulder joint, stability has been sacrificed to provide the most freely moving joint in the body. The articulating bones provide minimal joint stability because of the size and "fit" of the articulating surfaces. The major stabilizing forces are soft tissue, in particular the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles (via muscle tone).
absorbs any compression placed on the joint, reduces friction between bones, and prevents the ends of the bones from being crushed
Since joints are articulating surfaces, they are movable. Ball and socket joints are the shoulder and hip. Everything that moves is a joint of some kind...thumb, elbow, ankle, wrist, fingers, toes...
Synovial Membrane. Synovial Membran is a thin membrane in synovial (freely moving) joints that lines the joint capsule and secretes synovial fluid.-it basically seals the joint.
