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.
What do joints consist of?
Synivial joints have a synovial cavity between the articulating bones. This cavity is filled with synovial fluid that reduces friction at the joint, enabling the articulating bones to move freely.
The pharynx is a piece of cartilage that covers the entrance to the trachea when you swallow?
false
The thick smooth layer of tissue that covers the ends of bones?
The answer is cartilage
what covers most organs and cavities with in body?
Epithelial tissue covers the surfaces and cavities of organs.
Common features of synovial joints?
Common features:1. Articular cartilage - covers opposing bone surfaces.2. Joint cavity.3. Articular capsule - cavity enclosed by a double-layered articular capsule. Synovial membrane lines the capsule internally and covers all internal joint surfaces that are not hyaline cartilage.4. Synovial fluid: provides a slippery weight-bearing film that reduces friction. Also provides nourishment to the cartilage.5. Reinforcing ligaments: joints reinforced and strengthened by a number of ligaments.
Name the material which covers the ends of bone in a synovial joint?
cartilage
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.
What specific kind of tissue covers each bone in a synovial joint?
Articular cartilage
What covers the joint surfaces of long bones?
reticular tissue

Which location we do not see hyaline cartilage?
Hyaline cartilage normal covers the articular surfaces of bones in typical synovial joints and primary cartilaginous joints. Certail joints do not have hyaline cartilage covering the bony elements. These include: 1. Fibrous Joints - skull sutures, gymphosis (teeth) and interosseus joints (radius and ulna shafts) 2. Atypical Synovial Joints (these have fibrocartilage instead of hyaline cartilage covering the bones). These include the Temporomandibular (TMJ), Acromioclavicular Joint (ACJ), Sternoclavicular Joint, and 2nd to 7th Sternocostal Joints.
What tissue that covers the articulating surface of a bone?
Actually it's cartilages and the synovial fluid which makes the joint movements smooth.....
What is the name of the material that covers the end of bones to reduce friction at joint?
articular cartilage a subset of hyaline cartilage
What do joints consist of?
Synivial joints have a synovial cavity between the articulating bones. This cavity is filled with synovial fluid that reduces friction at the joint, enabling the articulating bones to move freely.
Which part of a joint could wear away and cause arthritis?
Cartilage. This is a from of connective tissue that covers the bone at the joint it is normally strong and smooth and along with the lubrication of synovial fluid makes a smoothly operating painless joint. Arthritis can be caused through many different processes but it always involved the destruction of the Cartilage to get the ball rolling
Covers long bone except at its joint surfaces?
Cartalige
