There are two major types of joints including freely movable joints which slide over each other easily and semi-movable joints, such as those in the spine, that are more stable but far less flexible. A few joints, such as those that make up the skull have no mobility at all. The human body has an astounding 300 different joints.

Equine; The synovial joint consists of two bone ends covered by articular cartilage. The articular cartilage is smooth and resilient and enables frictionless movement of the joint. The joint stability is maintained by a fibrous joint capsule, which attaches to both bones and collateral ligaments, which are at the sides of most joints. Collateral ligaments are important in maintaining stability in joints such as the fetlock, carpus, elbow, hock and stifle. There are also intra-articular ligaments, the best example of which are the cruciate (cross) ligaments maintaining integrity of the femorotibial compartments of the stifle joint. In addition, there are other ligaments (outside the joint cavity) that also support the integrity of joints. The best examples are the distal sesamoidean ligaments and suspensory ligament that together with the sesamoid bones make up the suspensory apparatus and hold the fetlock in its correct position. Disruption of any of these structures leads to a failure of support of the fetlock joint (one of the common catastrophic injuries in the racehorse
A tendon is what connects a muscle to a bone.
To allow the movement of an individual arms and legs
The are quite a number of tendons functions. They are responsible for joining the muscles to the bones and transmitting forces from the muscle to the bone among other functions.
A tendon joins muscles to bone.
attaches muscle to bone

The Joint Cavity is the space or scientifically a 'potential' space filled with synovial fluid. The function of this fuild is to reduce friction by lubricationg the joint.
A synovial joint contains a fluid-filled joint cavity enclosed by an articular capsule. Some of them are enforced by ligaments. Synovial joints are freely movable and examples include the elbow joint and wrist joint.
No it is a synovial joint! There is some degree of free movement possible
The Synovial membrane surrounds movable joints and secretes a fluid "synovial fluid" that acts as a lubricant for the joint surfaces.
Synovial fluid
The synovial membrane is the inner membrane of tissue that lines a joint. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid which serves to lubricate the joint and reduce the friction between bones in joints.

Yes, it is ball and socket joint (a type of synovial joint).
No, increasing osmotic pressure within a joint is not a function of synovial fluid. Osmotic pressure is the force that drives the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, and it is determined by solute concentration. The synovial fluid's main function is to lubricate and nourish the joint, not to influence osmotic pressure.

I this its the following: Bursae - located between skin and bones, tendons and bones, muscles and bones, or ligaments and bones - Main function: reduce friction between joints Joint Capsule - surrounds a synovial joint and encloses the synovial cavity - Main function: unite the articulating bones and reduce friction via production of synovial fluid
synovial joints have synovial cavities
The Talocrural joint, or ankle joint, is a synovial hinge joint, so the answer is, "Yes."
No it is a synovial joint! There is some degree of free movement possible
A synovial joint moves the most freely.
A synovial joint is also known as a moveable joint. like ball and socket,
