Where can one learn more about synovial fluid?
Synovial fluid is a type of fluid that can be found in the body's joints. Information on synovial fluid can be found at medical websites including Web MB and Mayo Clinic.
What is the purpose of joints in the human body?
Joints are located where two bones connect. They allow movement and provide mechanical support.
What is the 3 main types of joints?

How does the body cut down friction at joints?
There is a thick liquid produced in the joint spaces to cushion and reduce friction. This viscous fluid is called synovial fluid.
Most joints of the body are?
synovial joints
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.
Where is cartilage found in a synovial joint?
Articular cartilage is cartilage which covers the surface of the bone in synovial joints. Its function is to reduce friction between the bones. It is a type of cartilage called hyaline cartilage.
Are most joints in the human body synovial joints or ball and socket joints?
A ball and socket joint is a type of synovial joint. Synovial joints are the most common in the human body.
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".
What is the fluid called that lubricates freely moving joints in the human body?
In our joint cavities, there is a fluid known as synovial fluid. It allows the joints to move freely and serves to reduce friction that can occur when joints move together. It is made up of hyaluronic acid.
What areas of the body would you find synovial?
maximum joints of our body are synovial in nature
What allows smooth joint movement?
The joints in our body contain a fluid known as the synovial fluid which facilitates smooth movement as it reduces the friction between the bones
What types of joints allow body movement?
Synovial
What joints have full movement?
The joints in the body that have the most movement are called synovial joints, or freely moving joints. Technically they are classified as diarthrotic joints. The difference between synovial joints and the other types of joints is that they contain a synovial sheath that supplies them with synovium, a lubricating fluid. Of the six different types of synovial joints the ball-and-socket joints have the greatest amount of movement. The four ball-and-socket joints in the human body are the ileofemoral joints, hip joints, and the glenohumeral joints, the shoulders.
What is the most common type of joint in the body?
Synovial joints
