The thick smooth layer of tissue that covers the ends of bones?
The thick smooth layer of tissue that covers the ends of bones is called articular cartilage. Its main function is to reduce friction between bones during movement and to provide cushioning and shock absorption.
What is the medical term meaning smooth layer of connective tissue protecting the bone surfaces in the synovial joint?
This tissue is hyaline cartilage. It is rather smooth and slippery.
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that reduces friction between bones involved in 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.
What type of bone covers the surface of every bone?

What is the protective layer that covers bones?
Cortical bone, or compact bone, is one of two main types of osseous tissue. Cortical bone is dense and forms the surface of bones, contributing 80% of the weight of a human skeleton. It is extremely hard, formed of multiple stacked layers with few gaps. Its main function is to support the body, protect organs, provide levers for movement, and (shared with cancellous bone) store minerals. The other major type of bone is trabecular or cancellous bone; it is spongy and makes up the bulk of the interior of most bones, including the vertebrae.
What are the ends of bones covered with and why?
The end of bones are covered with a smooth, slippery, thick layer of tissue called CARTILAGE.WHY?Because it is flexible and important in joints because it acts as a shock absorber.It also makes movement easier. HOW? (how does it make movement easier?)By reducing friction that would be caused by bones rubbing together.Also a special tissue called Periosteum
What covers of the bones of the body?
The periosteum does , which is a specialized layer of connective tisssue.
What is the smooth flexible layer of tissue covering the ends of bone is?
