A comination of cartillage and synovial fluid resduced the frinction at synovial joints. Cartillagenous and fibrous joints dont really move and so dont need to have friction reduced.

What is an example of viscous Friction?
oil in a car's engine reduces viscous friction and wear
How does lubricant reduce the force of friction between hinges in a door?
It reduces the coefficient of friction.
This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that reduces friction between bones involved in the joint?
articular cartilage
What is a flattened sac that reduces friction between adjacent structures during joint activity called?
Bursa
Synovial fluid is present in joint cavities of freely movable joints what is true about this fluid?
Synovial fluid looks and feels like egg whites, hence their name. It reduces friction between the bones in the joint.
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

How does the human body reduce friction?
The human body creates synovial fluid, which is found in our joints. This is a lubricating fluid, which reduces friction. When a joint loses its synovial fluid, bones can touch each other, which causes joint pain. This can be alleviated medically by having a series of joint injections with an artificial synovial fluid called hyaluronic acid. There are two common supplements, which are also used to reduce joint friction, glucosamine and chondroitin.
