knee and the elbow joints are hinge joints.These joints occur where the convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another bone, so making movement possible in one plane only. Hinge joints have ligaments mainly at the sides of the joints.

What is the outermost part of a synovial joint?
A typical synovial joint has a joint capsule, a synovial membrane, synovial fluid, a joint cavity, and articular cartilage. A joint capsule surrounds the joint, supporting and stabilizing it. The synovial membrane is within the joint capsule. This membrane closely surrounds the joint and forms a joint cavity. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid that lubricates the articular surfaces of the joint. In some joints, the synovial membrane extends outside the joint capsule to form a bursa. The bursa cushions the joint. Bursae are in the knee, elbow, shoulder, and hip. Articular cartilage covers the articular surfaces of synovial joints to prevent excess wear and tear as they move against each other.
Turbulate the difference between shoulder and elbow joints?
1. Shoulder joint is a synovial(ball and socket) joint. Whereas Elbow is a synovial(hinge) joint 2.Shoulder posses 3 degrees of freedom i.e Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotations. Elbow have 1 degrees of freedom i.e flexion and extension 3.Difference of special structures i.e bursae 4.Shoulder is highly mobile than elbow
Does synovial fluid help strengthen the joints?
No, the synovial fluid itself does not help to strengthen the joints - only the ligaments do. The ligaments serve to prevent excessive movement in a certain direction. For example, if you inspect your elbow, you will find that you are unable to either adduct/abduct at the elbow (when having your palm facing forward, and elbow bent at 90 degrees, you will be able to physically move your elbow in/out. moving your hand from side to side is the rotation of your humerus, not your elbow). This is due to the presence of the collateral ligaments which prevent excessive side-to-side movement.Synovial fluid serves to lubricate the joint to ensure smooth movements, and the fluid is continually secreted by the synovial membrane into the joint. People who have less synovial fluid in the joint will find that it may be painful to move the joint, resulting in either arthritis or other disorders.
Is glenohumeral joint a synovial joint?
Yes, it is ball and socket joint (a type of synovial joint).
What articulate with the ulna and scapula?
This is called as elbow joint. It is a synovial type of joint. It is actually a joint between humerus and ulna mainly. The radius takes part in the joint passively. This is hinge variety of joint.
What joint moves the arm at the elbow?
The elbow joint is its own joint, Latin Articulation Cubiti. It's a synovial hinge joint connected with a radioulnar joint.
What joint includes the hip knee and elbow joints?
synovial
What is a synovial joint?
A synovial joint contains a fluid-filled joint cavity enclosed by an articular capsule. Some of them are enforced by ligaments. Synovial joints are freely movable and examples include the elbow joint and wrist joint.
Where cartilage is found at the elbow joint.why is the cartilage there?
Cartilage is found at the elbow joint so that the synovial fluid doesn't touches the ulna directly.
Which joint consists of is the hip elbow knee and intercarpal joints?
synovial
What type of synovial joint is between the scapula and the humerus?
Your elbow joint (funny bone!)
What is your elbow bone connected to?

The elbow and knee are examples of?
The knee is an example of a hinge joint, not a ball-and-socket joint.

a hinge joint at the elbow & a sliding joint at the carpals
