∙ 14y agoThe ends of bones (diathrotic) are covered in hyaline cartilage to reduce friction and make them easier to move when lubricated with synovial fluid.

Which tissues covers the ends of the bones at the joint?
Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of bones in many joints. It provides a slippery surface to reduce friction during bone movement.
What is the function of hyaline that covers the articulating surfaces?
absorbs any compression placed on the joint, reduces friction between bones, and prevents the ends of the bones from being crushed
What helps reduce friction and allows bones to slide more easily over each other?
Gliding joints
What keeps cartilage slippery?
because it needs to be able to reduce friction between bones
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".

Does Articular cartilage increase friction between bones?
Cartilage in joints REDUCE friction.
Does the cartilage reduce friction between bones?
Yes, it does, since it acts as a cushion between the bones
What tissue on bones end that absorbs shocks and reduce friction?
Cartilage
What type of tissue covers the epiphysis bones and reduces friction in the joints?
Articular cartilage
The white material that reduces friction at the ends of bones is called?
Cartilage
Is cartilage slippery?
because it needs to be able to reduce friction between bones
What is the name of the structures that are on the ends of bones to reduce friction where they articulate with other bones?
our joints, which are made up of mainly cartilage.
What provides a smooth slippery surface over bones to help reduce friction?
cartilage
What is the difference between a bursa and the joint capsule?
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
What is the function of hyaline that covers the articulating surfaces?
absorbs any compression placed on the joint, reduces friction between bones, and prevents the ends of the bones from being crushed
