articular cartilage a subset of hyaline cartilage
The ends of bones (diathrotic) are covered in hyaline cartilage to reduce friction and make them easier to move when lubricated with synovial fluid.
Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of bones in many joints. It provides a slippery surface to reduce friction during bone movement.
absorbs any compression placed on the joint, reduces friction between bones, and prevents the ends of the bones from being crushed
Gliding joints
because it needs to be able to reduce friction between bones
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".

Cartilage in joints REDUCE friction.
Yes, it does, since it acts as a cushion between the bones

our joints, which are made up of mainly cartilage.
cartilage
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
