articular
synovial joints have synovial cavities
hyaline cartilage
Synovial fluid is the fluid found within synovial joints. It acts as a cushion to the joint. The synovial membrane secretes this fluid as a response to trauma, as it adds extra cushioning. in addition to this, the fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage which coats the end of bones within a 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.
on the epiphyses
Cartilage is found at the elbow joint so that the synovial fluid doesn't touches the ulna directly.
articular
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.

Costochondral joint ( Costo- = Rib, Chondro- = Cartilage) - these joints 'articulate' the ribs with the costal cartilage of the thoracic wall. However, there is no movement between the two.The Structural Classification for this joint is; Cartilaginous (Synchodrosis).The Functional Classification for this joint is; Synarthrosis.
It is found at either end of the long bones where it provides a shockabsorbance in the synovial joint capsule.
