absorbs any compression placed on the joint, reduces friction between bones, and prevents the ends of the bones from being crushed
Actually it's cartilages and the synovial fluid which makes the joint movements smooth.....
Hyaline cartilage covers the articulating surfaces of bones to provide a smooth, low-friction surface for joint movement. It also helps distribute forces across the joint, reducing wear and tear on the bones. Additionally, hyaline cartilage acts as a shock absorber during physical activities.
Articular cartilage, also called hyaline cartilage, is the smooth, glistening white tissue that covers the surface of all the freely moveable joints, such as the knee and shoulder, in the human body.
hyaline cartilage A Hyaline cartilage, but lacking perichondrion
The Articular Capsule is a tought, flexible and fibrous capsule that covers the joint cavity. It is there to support and protect the joint.
You are referring to the articular cartilage. It is a smooth, shiny, white tissue that covers the ends of bones within joints. Its primary function is to reduce friction and provide a smooth surface for movement in the joint.

there are 3 types of cartilage. 1Hyaline cartilage: This type of cartilage has very thin fibers having same refractive index as the matrix of the cartilage and thus these fibers are not seen. Hyaline cartilage is the articular cartilage of long bones, sternum, ribs etc. Its color is bluish white and it is flexible. 2Fibrous cartilage: This type of cartilage has numerous white fibers. It is present in the symphysis pubis, and sternoclavicular joint etc. Its color is glistening white and the appearance is opaque. 3Elastic cartilage: This type of cartilage has numerous yellow elastic fibers. It is present in the ear pinna, external auditory meatus, Eustachian tubes, and epiglottis etc. Its color is yellowish and the appearance is opaque.
Articular cartilage covers the joint surfaces of long bones. It is a smooth, slippery tissue that helps reduce friction and allows for smooth joint movement.
Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of bones in many joints. It provides a slippery surface to reduce friction during bone movement.
